    Not always. Today it snowed.

    Just got back from a quick trip to Glasgow, it started raining as soon as we hit Gretna.

    Loads of people in the town centre dressed as zombies chasing each other around, obviously with no jackets on

    Sometimes it hails, sometimes it snows, almost always it is windy. And on rare occasions we see an orange thing in the sky. :D

    As they say about Scottish weather ... if you don't like it, give it 5 minutes. ;)

    Does anyone know what the orange thing is? I saw it once but managed to hide before it got me ;)

    I think Tizer is for us South of the Border as it has a lower girder count

    Liking the Scots and admiring their patriotism does not equal having 'more St Georges flags on English trucks'.

    Sadly the St George flag has been hijacked by the far right and chav twats. It's one thing to waft a nylon flag around during the world cup, it's another entirely to drive round with them emblazoned on the side of your dirty old transit.

    Like it or not, that's where we are.

    The Scots have a much better legal system and seem to have better laws, we could learn a lot from them.
