Drove to Liverpool on Saturday. Went round Birmingham the wrong way, chose the M5 route and found the M42 was closed to a lane, and very slow. Left it and went through Longbridge and joined the M5. In Longbridge we drove by all the car plants. In Liverpool we had another drink in the pub on Penny Lane. Must sort them out, they are so slow in producing their baguettes. 

On the way back stopped off at Ikea and had a look at all their stuff. Ended up buying a halogen lamp and a knife.

Journey back was pretty fast, even Birmingham was uneventful.
