I now join the hundreds of commuters who on a daily basis are delayed by the many roadworks taking place throughout the county and country. From recent personal experience all three roads between Penicuik and Edinburgh were restricted by traffic lights on the same day. Worst being the hole in road at Milton Bridge where there has been little or no activity for the past week, yet the traffic lights have been causing delays all the time. Looks like they intend to power up the new speed camera at the Golf Course , so be warned. ( I remember the days when on the nightshift we just turned off the lights removed the cones and let the traffic flow when it was sensible and safe to do so - current H & S Regs are just a licence for folks to print money which could well be used elsewhere) Just more annoying is the fact that the Council Highways folks seem perfectly happy to allow these cowboys to dig up the roads and cause chaos as and when they feel like it.
The late Adam Montgomery would have had this sorted out toute suite.
On a cheerier note, something to look forward to, a wine night and BBQ style meal, Oz theme, at the Mercat Grill on 27th January from 7 pm. £25 up front or £30 on the night. AND also a German Beer night in aid of the Rotary Club of Musselburgh on 10th February. £15. Beers and sausage included.
