However, if it is any comfort, even the Germans and the Swiss, icons of efficiency appear to be having problems, and Geneva’s airport is closed, so I heard.<br /><br />In a not very joined up way, I read that in England they have cleared the motorways (essential, said the fool Hammond, for communications throughout the country) but they have neglected to clear the slip roads... which means that you may, or more likely may not, be able to take the exit you want, and may end up having to drive and drive and drive.... until you run out of motorway or petrol or splash into the English channel, whichever comes first.<br /><br />Joined up.... Britain.... I don't think so.<br /><br />PS. Hammond was on the radio this morning about his review, and he talked about a “weather event”. I couldn’t help thinking that he was about 30 years too old for snappy, cool, trendy, terminology.

We would just have a lot of amazed forigners at Edinburgh airports, incredulous that we can't have any sort of joined up transport policy.

Its great fun driving on snow as its a learning process, the problem today is that cars have things like ABS etc and people think the car will look after them rather than learning how to drive that model. The best car I had was a Fiat panda, 999 fire engine, would go anywhere and driveable without using the clutch which I had to do more than once when the cable snapped. <br /><br />The fun has gone out of motoring with all 'safety' add ons which has allowed over cautious drivers a false sense of security making the roads more dangerous.cynicalHighlanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034325908473006163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-28769019473624952842010-12-02T23:30:25.081+00:002010-12-02T23:30:25.081+00:00It's what they do in Switzerland and Scandanav...It's what they do in Switzerland and Scandanavia SR, as you'll know.

And I think that Edinburgh airport should be open 24 x 7.<br /><br />The trouble is that in New York, Montreal, Stockholm, Oslo and Reykjavík the snow comes every year; it's heavy and it lasts for weeks, if not months.<br /><br />It is worth the massive investment in snow clearing vehicles, which here might sit in a garage not being used for 15 years. So in fairness to BAA you have to cut them a little, but not much, slack.<br /><br /><br />Yes, Whatisname probably hasn't noticed the snow. Probably some primary school child said to him "Ask Tubby Eck about the polis mister". Whatisname would be grateful for the question and would jump into it as if it were a hole, with both feet, not a thought in the world for the possible battering he was going to get.<br /><br />And poor old Niko has such faith in him...<br /><br />What's his name again Niko?<br /><br />PS: Can I just say that the SNP had nothing at all to do with the snow coming.

It’s good to see people taking the care to check up on others, not just older ones. <br /><br />But although I like to see people doing things for themselves, and for others, and not depending on the state for help, it has to be done properly and voluntarily. People who naturally do this sort of thing do it with love and care.<br /><br />I don’t want to see this Big Society being forced upon people. The state can’t force people to do things well. It can only force them to do the things. People who are forced to do things rarely do them well.<br /><br />I think Cameron is wrong, and I mistrust his motives. I think that he wants to replace what the state pays for with voluntary workers doing it all after their day’s work. Reducing costs is a laudable aim, but welfare that is depended upon must be professionally organised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-20765528131568547452010-12-02T20:21:37.015+00:002010-12-02T20:21:37.015+00:00Tavish have a point about Edin airport.

Is it really beyond the skills of 21st C Scotland to implement reforms and introduce new techologies to ensure that we can do likewise?<br /><br />It is a good point to be discussed tbh. Alex needs to do more than just churn out the typical 'learn and listen' guff - lets see some reform of handling procedures and snow-based capacity please!<br /><br />But generally, I do agree with the broad thrust of this post. I was amazed that whitshisname of that Liebore Party never even thought to ask a question about the snow, given that it is costing millions in the Scots economy day-in-day-out ... you'd have thought it a priority!<br /><br />But hey, probably best that zanulabour lot didn't bother, lest they would blame the 'seperatists' for causing the skies to fall in!Dean MacKinnon-Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221192592535723681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-40731295869046229062010-12-02T20:08:38.156+00:002010-12-02T20:08:38.156+00:00Maybe about 500 Niko.Maybe about 500 Niko.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-39836692733789329442010-12-02T19:31:31.568+00:002010-12-02T19:31:31.568+00:00I second your point about the weather bringing out...I second your point about the weather bringing out the good in people.
