Now that's a wide load! Motorists get stuck behind Boeing 737
CARAVANS are usually guilty of holding up traffic but motorists were forced to stop for a rather unusual wide-load on the road this week as they made way for a plane.
Frustrated drivers were forced to queue behind a giant Boeing 737 as it was transported on the back of a specialist low-loader ready to be turned into a motorway coffee shop.
The flying coffee shop was going to get to its location by any means necessary even if it wasn't plane sailing, with other drivers being left enraged as they got stuck behind the huge vehicle.

The drivers found that time didn't fly by as they were trapped behind the decommissioned airliner inching its way from Bacau to Ploiesti, in Romania.
The curious coffee shop was transported in two bits, with the fuselage on one truck and the wings on another.
The new owners of the adventurous enterprise have set up a website, where fans can be perked-up by watching the coffee shop's entire journey from start to finish.
"It's probably the slowest journey it's ever made but it will definitely be first class all the way when we get there," said a a spokesman.
