Why does Fife think it has the right to use the Forth Bridge as its only in Fife for a relatively small portion? Edinburgh City should as it lands in their territory as well and its better than their shitey logo. 2. They've only used 2 cantilevers instead of 3 in their logo (as you say like the experiment, however the experiment is pre-bridge). 3. When will Transport Scotland get round to changing all the road signs on A90/M8/M9 to say Queensferry Crossing instead of Forth Road Bridge? 4. What am I having for my tea tonight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen up concrete man, the sand used for the concrete and cement in the caissons were dredged from Pettycur bay, therefore, the foundations of the bridge belong to Kinghorn, in Fife. On a side note, Inchkeith was in the parish boundary of Kinghorn. For a wee town, it did some heavy lifting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no caravan owners were harmed in the manufacturing of the caissons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lands in Fife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Twice in the past week, I've found an unopened 2 pint carton of milk on my doorstep. I'm unsure who's actually delivering this milk to my doorstep, but assume they have the wrong address as I've certainly not ordered it. Either that or someone is gifting me free milk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have been adulterated with Novichok. Do not drink. Perhaps give to neighbour's cat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it outside. See how many cartons pile up before they check to see if you're still alive. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a competition for the Queensferry Crossing (shite name). My entry of "The Third Forth Fife Bridge" wasn't a finalist. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents I'd never noticed that either There are loads of logos that have these type of "hidden" features that once pointed out you wonder how you'd never seen it before. 6 hours ago, GordonD said: Like the bear on the Toblerone box? The FedEx one is one of the better ones. Once you see the arrow in the logo, it’s what you notice every f**king time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway isn't in the EU and this meant according to a Viz reader that Finland and Sweden on Euro coins looked like they had been designed by Throbs (pre-Brexit Euro below) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
