I was discussing that one with Speshact on Saturday. I saw one at Vauxhall as well, on Friday.

It's an old cycle campaign slogan, but they've given it a negative twist, suggesting that you can use satnav to break free from the traffic (thus externalising it again), and access the (implied) open roads shown in car adverts.

I saw that one painted on an autobahn bridge¹ near Frankfurt about ten years ago.

Probably about three paragraphs. With a verb at the end.

It was something like "Du sitzt nicht im Stau, du bist Stau" but my memory-branes my not be entirely accurate on this.

I've seen that one a few times recently, and I always think:

You are not traffic.
Traffic moves.

On my ride home from the Not A Royal Wedding Camping Weekend, there were a couple of times I wondered if I was taking the most direct route:

The name's origin goes back to the use of the word for the children's game, nowadays spelt tiddlywinks, as rhyming slang for "drinks". The word evolved into slang for a small beershop, according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

Thus Tiddleywink got its name from a cottage in the hamlet that once served beer to passing cattle drovers.

I was tempted to do a ride through Maryland and Pennsylvania (it wouldn't have been far), but there were arrows on the map persuading me not to.
