Yeah I used it. Tgink it saves a decent bit of time. Think I seen someone else post about this, or else it was on another road, but the signage had me seething. When I joined it, its 15 miles to the airport. Drove for about 10 mins at 70, then come to a sign that says Airport 11.

Seething. I mean I failed higher physics, but I am just not having that.

I had that at the Mull of Kintyre, reached a junction with a sign saying Campbeltown 8 miles pointing left and Cambelltown 3 miles pointing right.

So turned right and ended up on a nightmare of a single track, cliff top, roller coaster road,

30 minutes later I was still on it, finally got to Campbeltown and mentioned the sign to the barman and he just laughed and said the 3 miles is actually 13 but the local kids keep covering up the 1 for a laugh.

Does anybody know anything about Efflorescence? We've always had white marks on a few bricks in an internal red brick wall but they've they have become more widespread. Googling suggests it's not a massive problem but I'm not even sure who to get to check it out.

Eff that. I just ken about Effen Bees.

Just do what I done. When I was selling my old house, I spent a couple of minutes just before viewing time scrubbing it off with a hard brush. House sold no probs. Oh dear, never noticed that before when I owned the house!

Saved me about 20 minutes travelling up at night, at least half an hour when travelling home around lunch time.  I noticed the signs heading towards the airport were a bit dodgy but at least the road's finally open. Sitting stuck in traffic on North Anderson Drive when I just want home is soul destroying.

Any suggestion, I could do (not pornographic/illegal) to leave them a nice surprise? 

Shite on the keyboard then close it.

Did that about 5 month ago, see the the result below. (obviously big corporation heard about my story and used actors)

Open it up and slide some anchovies or similar inside.

I've bought a bottle of whisky for a friend from Sainsbury's using "click and collect" ... and I have a "collection" slot of 4.30-5.30 today in Sainsbury's in Darnley ... I can understand why you need to have a time allocated if stuff's getting delivered, but why the heck do I need to specify the exact hour I'm going to pick it up? Or to put it another way, if I rock up at 5.45pm today, will they have already chucked the bottle in the bin / tanned it to teach me a lesson?

At my local Asda, the click & collect stuff is in lockers outside the shop. Presumably you pick a time so they can use the locker for other folk if need be.
If your Sainsbury’s isn’t the same idea then f**k knows tbh

Cheers. I think the only way to find out for sure is to turn up late deliberately and see what's happened. I shall report back with my findings in a couple of hours.

Why do people 'click and collect' for something as basic as a single bottle of whisky when you need to go to the store anyway to pick the thing up?  Is this a rare 1875 Macallan cask strength being ordered in or something?  :unsure:
