If there's plenty of room and it's safe - not much traffic, etc. - a fun game to play is "circle the lane hogger". Overtake in L3, move back across to L1, slow sufficiently that they pass you again then move out and repeat.  Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

People who can’t be bothered to reply to an email. Messaged about a car for sale. Not on here I will add. Just asking for a rough location as Autotrader advert just said distance as stated was private sale but in pics shows little paper tag on keys so assuming may be dealer. Also asking if interested in p/x. No reply after 3 days. No need for it. Only takes a few seconds to type a reply.  2006 TdV6 HSE.

We have lots of 'New Year' tourists who rent out a lot of the Self Catering places here.
Spot them a mile away just at Midnight at New Year, they all bring bl00dy fireworks with them

I was out and about yesterday in Western Ross and I was surprised by the amount of Camper Vans there were. Thought they might have off for the New Year. Some hope!

They aren't really, they usually stock up before arriving and stop in lay-bys and by the side of the road, anything to save spending locally.
You're lucky if you can pull into a lay-by up here for them.
