Oxford Street seems like a bad idea to me - it would lose too much

shopping
money, and although it's world famous (why?), it doesn't work as a
television backdrop.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes


As a GP would require closing the circuit for at least 1-2 weekdays (for
setting up and testing etc), I cannot imagine a GP taking place in central
London. A GP cannot be compared with the London marathon due to the safety
barriers etc that are required for GPs.

I am sure that some of the obstacles (traffic islands etc) could not be
easily moved.

Does anyone know how long the roads are closed on other 'public road'
circuits.
