For the last week or so I have been setting off to work at my usual time each morning and yet I am arriving at work a little later than previous weeks. Obviously, this means the distance to work must have increased. Therefore the Universe must be getting bigger. QED!
...or does anyone have a different theory?
- Life in the fast lane is only fun if you live in a country with no speed limits.
- Of all the things I have lost, it is my mind that I miss the most.
- I vaguely remember having a good memory...

No surprise here, we already know the Bank of England has lost control of the inflation rate. It's taking you longer to get to work because of QE not QED

Wow! You could tell from my (written) accent that I am British, even though I am living in the USA right now?

Depending on which theory you subscribe to, either the BoE pretty much runs the world or it is effectively just a branch of the US Federal Reserve or both are in fact run by a private club in Switzerland called the BIS. Of course none of these are entirely correct nor entirely wrong either but it matters not. When one sneezes the other catches a cold whichever side of the pond he is on.
The way to tell that you're British, not American, is that your concern was about it taking you longer to get to work, not longer to get home and not about what your boss thinks about it taking you longer. Subtle and quite possibly unreliable but it's there.

We didn't need proof. The Detroit City Council is the reason why it keeps expanding. Too much hot air being expelled and nothing getting done to fix the budget.

No its a sign that your satnav hates you

I'm old enough to know how to manage without a satnav. Eventually I'll get one - once I am old enough to need reminding where I am going every five minutes after I set off!

With me, it's the ever expanding gap between me running out of money and the arrival of the next pay day
It's well known that if all the cat videos and porn disappeared from the internet there would be only one site left and it would be called whereareallthecatvideosandporn.com

Doesn't everybody?

My theory for what it's worth, There is no expansion the slight wear on your tires, has caused the perception of traveling at the same speed when in fact you are traveling somewhat slower then you thought. So all theories about expansion are false. Simple logic really.

Due to the tilt of the world's axis, each day you are travelling slightly more up hill than the previous day. Wait until June 12 and you will be going less steeply each day until Xmas.
