Should i be sarcastic and say "Broken down on the side of the road"? ;)

Looks a lot like the Military Road to me, can't remember the number right now but it runs parallel to the 69 from just shy of Carlisle to Heddon on the Wall.

Not that it matters where it is, 'cos there's a nice Jag in the picture. :D

Clearly during the rush hour. Better not stay there too long or you'll get clamped.

Don't think it's the military road JPB - or there'd be at least one crashed biker in frame...

Hmm, not a severed limb/head/other body part in sight. I just thought that because those weird rumble strip type things at the sides look like the sort of thing they've been laying down in places to prevent the edges shrinking away next time there's a frost.

On the other hand; Ohtwo's answer is probably the right one, ISTR that Millbrook also has those kerbs in places but have only been there once and that was a while ago.

Mytocon's answer "felt" likely too, but I'm not finding that location on Google Earth.....
