An upturned lorry that is ablaze with propane has been turned into an all day barbecue to keep queueing travellers happy.
The accident, on the M56, led to a communal atmosphere of bon homie, football and burgers.
Ash Kennedy, white van man from Carlisle said 'The burgers were a bit charred to be honest. Much like the face of the bloke standing over a burning lorry cooking them.'
'But the coleslaw was first class and the pork pies took away from the gassy flavour of the sausages.'
'I can't recommend the mini tiramisus though.'
'Which loon thought they would barbecue well?'
