There is an almighty piece of jam action occurring in China, leaving motorists crawling along for nine-days.
Road repairs to a busy stretch of highway have left lots of lorries carrying coal - and a lot of peeved drivers - stuck between inner Mongolia and north-west Beijing.
And somebody ring Alanis Morissette because there's something more than a little ironic about road works to repair roads mullered by lots of lorries causing traffic jams...leaving lots of lorries to muller the roads. Ahem.
Stall vendors, whatever they understand of ‘irony', surely understand something called 'money'. Motorists stuck in their cars have been complaining about road-side stalls overcharging for food as they wait.
Apart from the classic 'Eye Spy' and 'Guess The Cheese' games, what would you do if stuck in your motor for nine days?

If I was stuck in a car for days I would.... screw it, I'll just turn back. Unless I'm in a lorry, Turning wouldn't be so easy. :(

Pffft....it's China. Why should their roads be any better than their manufacturing? That wouldn't happen here in the states. We wouldn't put up with it.
