Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

[oldwheels]

Blimey - they must be having a very early start for the event!

More likely Highland Council are having one of their "little turns" but that is what the latest FB posting says.
Probably just to facilitate the start of the event.

A change to the Bealach na Ba closure. Highland Council now say the closure is 0500 to0800 and not all day as posted earlier.

You're sure it isn't 0800 the next day?

Don't think so and it is for an Ironman Triathlon apparently. To close the road for so long would be unrealistic but in my recent attempts to deal with Highland Council on another matter anything is possible. Getting a straight answer is difficult. I must go and try to find it on their website.

This is the FB bit.

Edit to add this. It seems impossible to send pages lifted from FB tho’ there must be a way as it went on to a post in reply to Andy from Germany. Possibly an Apple thing.
Ye gods how did that happen and I am completely sober.

Shout out to any of the 5 Cumbernauld Belles I chatted with today at Banknock on the canal,
I forgot to ask if any were members of CC..

I did check in case a regular Glasgow Belle was there though

Are we really bringing in a water ban on the same day we are issuing a yellow warning for floods across a large part of the country.

Sadly, the Glasgow Belles are no more: no demand

That's sad to hear..
The ladies said they had formed 5 weeks ago(?)
(with a youngster of 74 among them)

Kincardine glass.
Beware if you are cycling through Kincardine on the sustrans route.
Some absolute moron has put piles of broken glass all along the road. Must have taken a while to collect that much. 👍🏻

I had that on the roads round here a few years ago. I eventually realised that it was happening after the recycling wagon made its weekly pickup and deduced that there was probably a hole in one of the waste glass containers, leading to broken glass falling out on their route. I contacted the company and a manager replied saying that he was a cyclist, understood the problem, and would sort it out! The issue is much reduced now so I think that he must have done.
