Red Face Morning

[tooz]

Couple of years ago i was going to a drop near Thornliebank so i thought i would nip down Haggs road…

i knew there was a railway bridge but i did not know the height, so as i was driving along i looked out for signs…

didn’t see any so i thought great it must be over 16’4"…got to the bridge and it is 15’3" and i was 15’10"

luckily there was an industrial est just to the right so i could turn around

what about the Arched bridge on the A77 just before Maybole, coming from Minishant it says it is 14’9" but coming from Maybole it says 16"6"

so if you were going down that road for the first time from Minishant with a high trailer and see that sign you would sh*t yourself

Hope there weren’t any truckers in the vehicles squeezing past - shame on them if there were.

I’ve done similar, went straight through a roundabout thinking I was one further up than I was, quite happily toodling along when some barsteward plonked a low bridge in front of me. No way of turning round, no way around. Reversed back 100 yards and blindsided into a narrow access road to a car park for a block of flats. Slotted in first time like I meant it, which is how I knew no one was watching
