On the road

I'm just about to head back to the east coast to see the folks for a few days, a journey I'm to undertake by bus, as Mrs Wife needs the Jockmobile for work.

Incredibly, this journey from the west to the east is going to take SEVEN HOURS.

How can it be possible to travel for seven hours in a country as small as Scotland and only travel a couple of hundred miles? Seven-hour journies should at least be enough to take the traveller as far as England.

Just as well I have today's paper and an account of an intriguing Celtic v Hearts match to devour en route.
