That's exactly right Michael.We didn't 'create' a jam or make a jam worse. All we did was walk out into the three lanes of stationary traffic and block the road. Whilst it was blocked myself and lots of others walked amongst the cars handing out leaflets, cakes! and chatting to the drivers.Approx every 5 minutes or so, when the traffic had cleared in front we allowed the cars to proceed, then once it was jammed up again we repeated the process. Nobody was held up any more than they were already.At once point an ambulance came down the road picking it's way through the traffic and of course we all got out of the way. I spoke to around 30 drivers, by far the majority were supportive and turned their engines off, took a leaflet and were either supportive or understanding.I only had one driver who refused to speak to me and one who was initially angry but soon calmed down when we explained that they were only being held back for a few minutes.I remain, milkshake free...
