Of the the far lands of the North shortly. I hear word of snow and ice. Is Shap passable? Good job I filled my fridge with food this morning. Better grab an extra pint of milk before Preston.
have you been watching Ice Road Truckers and you’re after a taste of the real thing ? Hope you’re bringing your snow chains, hope you don’t freak out when you hear the ice crack as you trundle across Loch Ness.
Its a marvellous sunny day up here ,I am sitting in my garden in Perthshire wearing shorts.You will need your sun glasses for the southbound journey.

Don’t get me startex on Ice Road Truckers… 
The most annoying thing is, how they give the impression that the few truckers featured, are the only ones brave and capable enough to tackle them roads. There’s tens, if not a hundred of others doing the same job, day in-day out, without any of the dramatics. Typical Americans. I mean, you’d never see a programme like that made over here.

If you are braving Kirkaldy 
…the procedure is to call in at The Forth Bridge and pick up a couple of Sherpa guides. Two for the price of one today extended offer from Black Friday.

Yeh but you hardy Braveheart types are used to the cold, with your vests and kilts with your bits dangling underneath , your tropical is our medium winter.
Even though we are Northern England grade hard types, we are still Southern softies to you. 
Cowdenbeath was a frozen wasteland a couple of weeks ago.

It makes me laugh when Chuck or Randy encounter a problem and it becomes a life or death situation. Either he fixes it or he freezes to death… Or he gets in the van with the film crew.

I put it on for 5 minutes the other week, new series apparently, but it just looked like a carbon copy of when I last viewed it about 5 years ago … same old boring characters.
I emailed the program a few years back and asked if I could be one of the participants, would love to do it for a season, preferably without the film crew, but never got a reply.

Where’s Happysack when you need him?
He’ll be only to pleased to advise you on going ‘up Scotch’ ‘Scotch’ traffic, and generally all things…‘Scotch’ 
‘Scotch’ is his specialist subject.
Waiting for his reply, (predictably a two word answer ending in ‘off’ )

I think it was mentioned recently on another thread, ‘Scotch’ is the adjective used with items which can be eaten or drunk. Hence, Scotch whisky, Scotch lamb.
The country is Scotland, Scots are the people and the language, and Scottish is the adjective used with items other than those which can be eaten or drunk.
Here endeth the lesson!

Yeh, Cheers mate, ok, I do know that, it’s just a bit of an ongoing gag between HS and myself.
btw. Just to blow your theory…Scotch Corner
up in Scotland when we go mountain climbing and need to get rescued in extreme conditions,then the rescue team survival kit is …a denim jacket,10 regal,and a bottle of girders…irn bru to the uninitiated… 
Initial progress was good, but the relentless natives performing their daily ceremonial sitting down in 't middle of 't road, twarted my progress at Preston, but once I have ridden out the night, I will push on…
Countless people in scotland won’t be able to purchase their cakes, if I fail to deliver these paper bags…
