MADAM - I feel great pity for the people of Hereford who are 'stuck in traffic'.

Last Monday I travelled through Hereford from the Leominster direction to South Wales, and it took me 50 minutes to go two miles.

If there is ever the need for a bye-pass then this is it! The traffic must be worse than London. The snag is I will never travel this route again and it probably puts many off visiting Hereford itself, which I know is a lovely city.
