Nev's Roads

Our Nev' has been behind the scenes compiling images and information for his new book 'Nev's Roads of the UK'. This book will be 'informative and exciting' says the bespectacled moron.
''There's a gap in books on information on our roads and the network and I wanted to fill it''.

The book which will will be out in the summer highlights the main roads of the country with images and data. If you should wish to purchase it, then seek medical advice.

However, we're obliged to show you a preview, so here it is! This is the page devoted to the M20:

Nev's Move Into Road Improvement Vehicle Spotting...

Recently, there was a bit of road re-surfacing taking place near Nev, so he popped down there and took these lovely images for WOP. He went with an open mind but came back feeling quite refreshed having done something a 'little different'.

''Trains are one thing - they are a supreme untouchable force, but I thought I'd take this rare chance to spot some lovely road working traffic for a change.'' He said. ''I didn't realise the amount of work needed to lay a new surface of road down, my good eye was opened!''

Nev was also relieved that he didn't get his 'asphalt' on this occasion.




''Look at her - tearing up the old surface with ease....''




''Lovely conveyor type rigging on her''



''It was getting dark and way past my bed time, but I stuck around for this moody shot. Lovely Hi Vis Clothing''.

Strange Place Names of Britain.....

Just flicking through an atlas the other day, I spotted a couple of very odd place names. I'm sure this will be the first in a series...who knows?


What next...'Stan'? 'Cedric'? or even.... 'Nev'?

I stand corrected - Kent does indeed have some odd place names.

Quite.
