Strangely enough, the roads between the airport and Culverhouse Cross have been resurfaced in recent weeks so at least that is some benefit for those of us who live in Barry. :roll:

But the biggest potential nuisance around here is PLANE SPOTTERS! They have introduced special parking regulations in Rhoose to counteract this!

Air Force 1 won't be coming to Cardiff. But there will be up to 10,000 staff coming! Apparently you can't get a hotel room this week anywhere along the M4 corridor from Swansea to Swindon.

Apparently, the police can randomly stop and search cars here this week, which may well slow down the delivery of takeaway curry :shock:
