  1. @Badgardener for those unfamiliar with a country about 700km long with a coastline considerably longer than England’s it might have been more useful to describe the location as #Caithness rather than just Scotland.
    Otherwise visitors might believe Scotland is just like a wee county when in fact, it is larger than all the countries in the list below

  2. #bourtononthewater need to get their act together. Making 70 and 80-year-olds walk 15 minutes from the coach drop to the High Street along very narrow pavements with aggressive drivers and some roads with no pavement whatsoever is a joke.

    Why don’t they just put a sign up at the entrance to the village which says elderly and disabled not welcome?

  3. There was much talk of expanding the mezzanine overpass inside Waverley station, but it is far more logical to use the original entrances on Waverley Bridge down to the main concourse level. From there there are only five platforms that require a change of level- 1,8,9,10 & 20.
    The remaining 15 platforms are all directly accessible from that level.

    Far simpler than trying to build a complete new mezzanine floor with lifts and escalators to ALL the platforms. #Scotrail #waverley #networkrail

  8. What an excellent programme on #bbcr4 Radio 4 on the operation of English law, with Michael #Rosen!
    I look forward to a similar programme on #ScotsLaw.

    But I won’t be holding my breath. 😳

  9. @osma time for councils to place length width and weight limits for car parking facilities.
    If they have nowhere to park, they won’t come .

  14. @ChrisMayLA6 this government would appear not only to be not labour, but also incredibly slippery.

    Many countries have suggested making politicians liable for false declarations. I wonder if that would reduce their mendacity and slipperiness.

  15. At 10:50 winds recorded at 54 metres per second, which is about 120mph.

    That reading is from 40m above ground at the nacelle point of our community wind turbine at the north end of Barra.

  16. @bovine3dom @partim yes getting the vehicle against tax is another story. But slipping it under the safety regulations is something on a different level. All European vehicles are subject to the same crash testing, with no exceptions over 1.5 tons.
    Which makes them inherently safer for both for the passengers and other road users.

    In the USA, there’s no crumple zone in 1.5 ton trucks and no rollover prevention. Passengers have no protection whatsoever

  17. @partim the reason it weighs as much is to avoid the construction and use regulations in the USA. Anything over 1.5 tons is regarded as a truck and therefore does not have to undergo crash testing, stability testing or fuel consumption measuring. It costs the manufacturers much less to build as a result, which is why they promote them so strongly 💵
    The consumer has no idea they’re buying a chassis truck from the 1950s which will kill them if they crash or roll over #notech

  18. Has anybody given any serious consideration to the colour of the boost button?
    Once a post has been boosted the symbol changes to green which is not the best colour since 10% of adult males have red green colour blindness and have difficulty seeing green.

  23. @tildalwave @kalleboo @0xabad1dea it also goes a long way to solving the bicycle problem, actively discouraging cyclists from going near the tram tracks.
    Time the #edinburghtrams took it on board .

  24. @Pepijn and skat, being a tax or a fine or a penalty is what evolved in English into scot-free.
    After a brush with the Danish authorities and courts the English peasants talked of coming away skat-free which over many centuries became scot-free.

  29. @BBCNews @top-stories-BBCNews will the BBC ever publish a positive headline about a Scottish club or the Scottish national team?

    In football, rugby or indeed any other sport?
