Devon and Cornwall will be inundated with refugees? Ifs, maybes, and conjecture

[bigpaul]

"the south west is only 90 minutes from London"...depends on which part of the south west you mean, Plymouth is 240 miles from London so I'd guess you'd have to be AVERAGING 100 MPH.... not only is that illegal but i don't think anyone would be doing that in a mass evacuation, they'd be crawling at lower gear speeds due to the amount of traffic, many accidents/rear shunts/overheating engines and general hysteria and possible violence. did you see some of the reports of the evacuation over Katrina? the Americans have 6 lane highways and they still ended up as a giant car park, how do you think our pathetic road system would stand up? it wouldn't.

I don't think there are many(read none) of our annual influx of tourists who make it from London to Devon and Cornwall in 90 minutes, hell most of em take that long just to get out of London.
