Speed bumps scupper repatriation vigils

Mr Robathan said the route would not pass through the village of Carterton on its way to Oxford because its streets "are very narrow for a modern village" and because it has "speed bumps which are not suitable for corteges". It will pass through the village of Brize Norton, however.
...... which, of course, is narrower than Carterton and has speed bumps and traffic chicanes!

But I do predict that Brize Norton village will become the natural gathering place for people wishing to pay their respects, not at a specially built "viewing area"!
