It's an interesting question (well, ish). The "three four hundred" is 
the most useful road from round these parts up towards Birmingham, and

yes, there's probably no single answer.

Ah, the 4455 is the _fun_ bit of the Fosse. (Actually the restricted 
byway bit is the really fun bit. But I digress.)
