 A217 , do they have a clue ?? - Bromptonaut

Yesterday I was driving home after picking up the Fabia from its service. Waiting at Barnes Meadow Interchange, a big grade separated gyratory at the junction of the A45 and the A428 Bedford road, I picked up a strong smell of diesel. Quite apparent that there was a large spill three quarters of the way round the roundabout and a threat to road holding particularly for folks on two wheels.

Stopped and called the council. Usual button pressing and imprecations twice over, the second after I'd selected 1 for urgent matters, to report on line. First agent cut me off in less than five seconds because he couldn't hear me. The second seemed only able to work with postcodes. If I was reporting a pothole up a back jigger in Ashton that might have been explicable but surely these people should have a mental picture of the major roads and junctions in in the area - or the tools to find them on a map...
