big trip

We are going out for the day, to Kent.  A trip involving the A12, the M25 and the Dartford Crossing.  What could possibly go wrong?  I record this fact now in case by the time we get back it is too late and I'm too knackered to post anything else.  I did have a Thought for the Day, as I listened to the Today programme discussion of the relaunch of The Big Society.  Maybe Big wasn't a very good adjective to choose.  Big Friendly Giant.  Big Yellow Teapot.  Big Bad Wolf.  Big isn't a word associated with complex ideas for grownups.  Big Mac.  I rest my case.
