Goes back to the days of Merry Hill centre opening. They used to race round there then cruise the carriageways to and from it. That was why the gates were installed to keep them off at night.
I reckon you might be right about Cannock. I started courting the wife in '95 and we occasionally used to go to McDonald's drive-thru at Longford Island about midnight and there used to be dozens of cars either parked up or driving up and down the A5 between there and either Churchbridge or Gailey islands. You could hear from the accents that some had come as far afield as Manchester. Went on for quite a while until the cops secured an injunction.
