If you’re reading this while stuck on the M25 right now, I see you. You’re not alone. Your battery is probably at 12%, and you’re wondering if you can charge your phone with sheer willpower. Take a breath. Look at the sky. Remember: the vehicle will be cleared, the lanes will reopen, and you’ll finally get to your destination smelling faintly of regret and petrol fumes.
And hey, if you’re lucky, you might even catch the next podcast episode about why squirrels hate your garden. Because honestly, that’s the real story here. Delays on the M25 are inevitable, but they’re also a weird little gift: twenty minutes (or two hours) to just sit, breathe, and remember that sometimes, a slow road is better than no road at all. Even if you get there late and slightly furious.
