Contact Us and win a free...... .....view of the Campsies from the M80! What a lovely day today and looking beyond the Campsies
towards the 'Arrochar Alps' just reminded me how lucky I was not to crash into a car slowing down for our junction!!!!
Pity sat-nav systems didn't say ..." In 100 yards, look right for a nice
view". More people might notice it... but far be it for me to mock the strangely comforting
voice of my sat nav lady. I was driving somewhere new, quite foreign and scary today....Edinburgh City Centre....and
found myself in a maze of roads that seemed to be deep down under Princes Street! (Like most Weegies, I stroll
Princes Street from Waverley, go along Rose Street for lunch then back to Waverley after marvelling at the price of
stuff in Jenners window) so driving in such hostile, twisty, cobbly, busy, one way, bus laden ...."The
destination is on your left" she said....rightly so and we have remained friends ever since!!
The Community Council are still trying to reduce traffic along the road past the school, it doesn't help when
printed road maps, internet route planners and some sat nav systems still insist that the bypass road stops mysteriously
after the Briarcroft/Brookfield/Campsie Meadows roundabout only to rematerialise just before the roundabout leading
onto the Auchinairn/Lenzie Road. Try it and see!!
Then email with the result and help the Community Council
try out the new address!!!!!!!
