    Well, shooting at random does work sometimes.

    Now bring on the next question!

    A twin who didn't celebrate a birthday with their sibling. This person worked on linking the M1 to the M4 in Britain.

    Hmm, well the only road of note linking the M1 and M4 is the M25.

    Hmmm, there are a few more options...

    M1 and M4 are also terms in economics relating to money supply and the person in question could somehow be associated with trying to get UK to enter into the EMU of the EU.

    M1 is also a designation for one of the guns mounted on the M4 Sherman tanks lent to the UK by the USA under the Lend-Lease Act.

    Ultimately there might be a connection with M4 as in the cipher applied in breaking the Enigma code.

    The M4 is also the carbine version of the M16, and some M1 Abrams tank drivers are armed with it for it's smaller physical size... So any tankie with an M4 carbine personal weapon might have linked the M1 and M4s...

    The military really should come up with more creative names...

    Yes, but that's not in Britain anymore then... The M4s were sent as war-aid to England.

    Motorways makes for incredibly dull reading. At least there was a mention of Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman in the M25 article.

    You da man Mikkel.........but sadly, waaaayyyyy off track.

    Forget about M1/M4 etc, that is a lead of a distinctly piscene hue, cerelean rather than rouge......

    I'll come back to my original guess that I deleted because it was too ridiculous: Luke Skywalker.
