Shoppers have spoken of their frustration at getting caught in huge traffic jams trying to leave Bluewater.

A spokesman for the centre said at 8pm it was doing everything possible to get traffic moving again, and thanked those caught up in the chaos for their patience.

Users took to Twitter to vent their frustration.

Some employed humour to get them through the traffic hold-ups.

'Renz' tweeted: "By the time I eventually leave this car park in Bluewater I may be eligible for a winter fuel payment. 'Every cloud...'"
