Google maps adds live traffic for England

It's now possible to see what the traffic is like real time by using Google UK Maps but the functionality seems to stop at the border - it doesn't appear available yet for Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland - I know not why.

It's clear and easy to use - just choose the area of the country that you're interested in, click on the 'traffic' option on the map and see what the roads are like using a colour coded system. You can also choose other times of day - these details will be based on previous situations. It would be nice if you could use this in conjunction with directions with the time taken to do the trip being affected by the time you leave home. However, asking for more just when they've started offering the service is perhaps a little much - but I do think a howl of 'why just England?' is appropriate.
