 A1 road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, where there arises a need to distinguish between the modern road, on its bypasses and some former part of the road, where it passed through the various towns, the name "A1" is sometimes reserved for the modern road, while "the Great North Road" refers to its original course.
This ran from St Paul's Cathedral in Central London through Barnet, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, to Alconbury, where it joined the route of a Roman road, Ermine Street, as far as Colsterworth, where it is joined by the A151.

 For Farmers, It's a Season Of Sadness / Foot-and-mouth casts a pall over Britain
It is spread mercilessly in all manner of transport - back and forth from pig to cow to sheep, whisked away on the wings of birds, carried through the air on prevailing winds, caught up in the mud that clings to the shoes of farm workers or visitors, or on the tires of their cars.
In America, the last appearance of foot and mouth disease was in 1929; in Britain, the last epidemic was in 1967.
In some countries the disease is endemic, but for Britain and the rest of Europe -- countries that export their meat, dairy products and breeding animals -- having this disease out of control is an economic catastrophe.

No-one knows what it is or cares much about it but if Great Britain is involved everyone watches it on the television.
The series is geared towards spectators rather than drivers but the appeal is to be representing your country, which is something you don’t get in any form of motorsport and would be the greatest honour.
