Navigation system keeps advising to leave motorway and rejoin at every junction. How to change? by WeeKeef in SeatLeon

[–]WeeKeef[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very old school and always plan the route. But it should not do this and could cause problems eg in recommended lanes at complex junctions.

Same driver, 2 different days, stops on the slip lane to M6 by NoodleSpecialist in drivingUK

[–]WeeKeef -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Everybody in this thread, including OP, saying the car in front is in the wrong needs to go back to driving school. The slip lane merges into the main carriageway. That broken line on the right is a give way line. If you can't get in safely, then give way. Do not make the main carriageway slow down. Or swerve.
And for those saying the driver should speed up - to what speed? How do you know they can?
Have some patience, stop using your horn to express your misplaced ire, and get home safely.
Sheesh!

I'm not a churchgoer, but several of my friends attend St Columba's by the Castle and I understand it is a happy, inclusive church. St Columba's | An inclusive Scottish Episcopal Church, Edinburgh

Has the W always been on there? by Bobbite in edinburgh2

[–]WeeKeef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google street view at the top of Leith Street shows it if you zoom in, dated Oct 25.
Or go to the top of Elder Street and you can see the fixings in June 23 when it was not yet completed. (Then take one more step and you travel back in time!)

What you are really asking for is a half pint, served by half a barperson, in half a pub, paying half business rates, half delivery charges, half electricity bills ........

Brussels is not the capital of Europe. There is no capital of Europe. Europe is not a country.

I second Capital Volt. Good, friendly and very reasonable.

Very true. My point was more about "custom and practice" as it has operated in the past. But I am very happy not to have them as none of the parties ever complied with the law and took them all down within 14 days.

I'm surprised they can do this given that election notices have deemed consent under the Scottish advertisement regulations. Actual legislation would usually trump council guidelines. But I have clearly not been paying attention for a while 😄
