Pugwash Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 I'm at work, the champagne is about to be opened and farewells said. This is my last post until I can get to an internet connection so try to have fun without me. I'll be back online from Scotland in a week or two, hopefully with a new watch or two to photograph.

Pugwash Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Posted April 3, 2007 Well, I arrived in Scotland last night. I was caught on the M1 in this and was stuck stationary for 4 hours while they tried to work out how to clear the motorway. Eventually, they cut through the barrier and turned us round.
Stephane Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Good luck for the move Pug. I'm moving in a month too ;-)

If I look at that picture I can't help thinking "... oh my God, they are all driving on the wrong side of the street....."

Why didn't they just pick up the pieces and hose it all down, good grief! What kind of civilization do they have oner there!!! With all the trucks that ended up in that "queue" I wouldn't be walking on that road even when it is moving. Of course all the motorists with sense avoided the area (unless they are traveling and didn't know) and it's only the Union truck drivers sitting there because they figure standing or going I still get paid. /Tim
eddhead Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 If I look at that picture I can't help thinking "... oh my God, they are all driving on the wrong side of the street....." Ok so what movie? "... you';re going the wrrrooong way....!" "uh-huh, uh-huh.. how does he know which way we're going!!!" see you're on-line now Pug.. happy trails!!
jeff g Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 'Puggy Posts'....we will miss them. Have a safe move.
Dutchy Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Ok so what movie? "... you';re going the wrrrooong way....!" "uh-huh, uh-huh.. how does he know which way we're going!!!" Planes Trains and Automobiles! Brilliant movie!! Have a good one Puggy
dieselpower Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 Good luck with the move Pugwash. From Parisians to the Scots - quite a contrast. People will actually talk to you in a friendly way and mean it, will you be able to cope? I'm sure you can. Will miss your ascerbic posts, hurry up back on line I need a laugh. All the best.

There was a mangled corpse on one of the UK's busiest motorways and as it was a pedestrian, it was considered a crime scene. They closed the entire motorway in both directions and there was simply nowhere to go for four hours. There was no movement for those four hours. No-one had any choice about whether or not to stay where they were. It wasn't a queue, it was a car park for four hours.

I know it isn't something that can be done. The "queue" was humorous, at least to me, because I am always amazed how much the Brits love to stand in line. /Tim

I tell you, it's so nice to be in a civilised country where people won't barge you to one side because they want to jump the queue.
