BM1874 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It’s been done before but the state of Edinburgh’s roads im a relatively new driver and just the sheer chaos of temporary traffic lights and roadworks seem to be everywhere gilmerton road carricknowe east craigs gorgie Amongst others ive had to do a lot of cross city driving particularly in the last 7 days and needing to avoid the bypass at certain (rush hour) times I’ve had to go through the city and spent nearly as much time waiting at temporary lights as I do on the bypass not to mention the amount of places that are 20 mph (I’m very conscious of my speed, particular as getting any points on my license is a disaster in the next 2 years) and when doing 20mph in these areas having someone flying up my backside not caring and wanting past.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I was following a car recently and the driver was vaping. Hugh clouds of vapour every time he stopped at lights. It looked like smoke signals in an old western. How is that safe as these devices look harder to hold than a ciggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ribble Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The 'no smoking announcement' that gets played on repeat in Waverley station, really annoys me that it says 'no smoking anywhere ON the station' rather than 'in the station'.

You try and get off a bus and idiots stand right at the door waiting to get on, looking surprised that your not getting off. Where the f do you think in trying to go. Also people who get on a bus stand at the bottom of the stairs and discus where to sit, it's a bus just grab a seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_hmfc Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 When people stand in a queue position at the bus stop for one bus, but then another comes and you're not sure if they're queueing for that or another one. Then you're not sure if they're queueing to get on or just generally getting in the way. I remember one time two old bags of wind stood at the edge of the pavement looking like they were getting on so I stood behind them. The bus pulled up, opened the doors, they did nothing, so the bus drove off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanair have been running as a basic low cost airline for 30+ years now and folk still under the impression that it's going to be better than it is. If they can avoid anything that costs them money that they then can't pass onto a customer they don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're cheap enough to fly with them then you've threw away your moaning cards. Stop flying with them and use a half decent airline.
