It’s giving the magical present of time

I used Newlands X flyover for the first time today. It's very clean and fancy and saves me a whole 10 minutes.

It’s making people political

If this fog ruins my view of the new Newlands Cross flyover, I'll be so furious I might just pen a letter to the council.
