There's a LOT less traffic on the roads in the morning. (How did kids get to school before every family had 2-20 cars?)
Quite a LOT of my colleagues seem to be 'working from home' this week.

Of course, the downside is that all the aforesaid yummy mummies had booked all the appointment slots at the quack by about 08.30 so that darling Olivia and Henry can have their verrucas and wotnot seen to . . . thus leaving a wegie with a completely bunged-up ear feeling very sorry for herself.
