Hello Grandad! Sorry, I haven't seen this posting before so that's why it's taken me so long to reply, but yes, it must have been you, or at least one of your colleagues. We joined the M6 at the junction where the M54(?) joined so it couldn't have been anyone further north.
Luton to Blackpool eh?? Quite a run in conditions like that, especially if it was raining.
