Hello, old friend! The merest whiff of days gone by on the erstwhile A34 as a Maersk container is whisked southwards, probably en route to Southampton. A reminder of the 1970s and 1980s when this route was stiff with traffic fighting its way between Birmingham and Oxford before the M40 brought blessed relief to communities en route and drivers alike.
