And f**k this "stay off the roads" shite, I pay my road tax!

Chap from Scottish Borders Council on Reporting Scotland the Bleeding Obvious there getting annoyed - as was Cameron Buittle - that there were cars driving on the A1, A68 and so on, despite the advice being to stay at home (while a stream of cars went up and down the road behind him including 1 that did a U-y at the top then came back down!).

It's a free country of course and it's only a warning, but it's also about non-essential travel.

Nurses, firemen, carers, certain retail staff - e.g. pharmacists - and so on have to get to work and not all will live within walking distance.

Hearing others have Thundersnow and non-stop blizzards it looks like Edinburgh might have got off lightly so far. Other than some really heavy snow it's not been too bad. Roads are dead (although I think the bypass was it's usual shambles but that's a given). 

Should be interesting to see what happens overnight but at this minute i'd reckon hee-haw in the City, seems to be going around and hitting everywhere else

Good.  

[emoji1] It’s normally a 1/2hr journey. That’s the point.

Us sevconians are (I think) allowed to eventually settle outside the city boundaries in our twilight years. But thanks for playing, etc...

And I don’t like that Humza chap I’m afraid. He comes across as a bit arrogant and deflectiony.
“It’s snowing, what are we to do?!” Err, maybe manage things a bit better?

I doubt anybody could justify the M80 being shut for 6 hours this afternoon. What? That no-one could foresee that HGVs couldn’t might have a bit of trouble making it up that hilly bit outside Haggs?!? Did their own red weather warning catch them by surprise?

How should they have prepared for this?

People were told not to travel. People were told not to travel. People were told not to travel.

And yes the red warning was a surprise. Do you follow the news at all?
