Correct, I haven't.

Many times actually. Although not since the work to widen the road, or the Elvedon bypass, so it will be interesting for me next time

Elvedon is much better now though.

A140 is still a huge turd.

A140 used to be great fun

Until they went and put all the speed limits and camera's in

(That's going back about 15 years ago I mean, btw! So long ago, that I was actually driving some of my CX Turbo's!

North of Norwich is great fun, excellent roads that are mostly dead. The rest can drokk right off.

I was talking the section from the A14 up to Norwich. It is now a complete and utter nightmare though

Yeah I knew where you meant, I drive 20 odd miles of that every week at rush hour. Takes me 45 odd minutes, 25 of which is in London Stratton.

There is at least one cool thing to look at in Long Stratton though, while waiting at the lights... (And I don't mean the fucnky modern police station)
