Pugwash Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share 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 Share 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.

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
