What's in a name?

Suggestion that the M6 Toll Road should be opened to motorists toll-free when there are serious hold-ups on the M6 itself.  There have been a couple of occasions recently where an incident has resulted in the M6 coming to a complete standstill for several hours and this has resulted in the idea being looked at again.  Of course, those of us who remember when the road was first proposed, and indeed while it was under construction, will recall that back then it was called the BNRR - the Birmingham Northern Relief Road - and it was sold to us on the basis that it would do precisely what is now being discussed, that is, be a relief road for the M6.  Don't hold your breath though - the official line seems to be that the M6 would have to be closed for a period of days rather than hours before the Toll Road would be opened for general use.
