Word reaches Biglorryblog that in the past 12 months Highways Agency workers have recovered a wide range of items from England's motorways, including the proverbial kitchen sink. Indeed between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2009 the Agency recorded 7,370 reports of debris on UK motorways with many of those items found during the summer months coming from unsecured luggage and top-boxes. And they included surf boards, bicycles, a hot tub, greenhouse and even yes a kitchen sink. Derek Turner, network operations director at the Highways Agency tells BLB: "What seems secure when you leave home can easily work loose on motorways at high speeds. Our advice to drivers is to stop in a safe place and check your luggage before you join the motorway in case items have worked loose. Many people don't even realise they have lost something until they reach their destination." You know that happened to me the other day with the wife...
That kitchen sink looks really dirty!
