Tourists

[Brandane]

Relentlessly positive, as ever.

Yes I do have a somewhat cynical outlook on life, and in the human race generally. But the humour might not come across in the written version. Don't like it? There's an "ignore member" facility, which might be a better option than making judgemental comments.

The humour came across to me just fine, although I suppose I read most posts on here with a positive initial mindset. I'm rarely disappointed.

I couldn't ignore you, Brandane. I always look forward to finding a positive post.

I have a theory that people who are constantly gushing with positivity are the very people who are actually trying to compensate for being miserable nobbers in reality. Either that or they live on another planet. There's nowt so queer as folk.
However; about them pesky tourists..... It can't just be me who is cynical about them on the Costa Clyde, since they are referred to locally as "midges". As any visitor or resident in the west of Scotland will tell you - midges are pests that only come out in the summer.

So the Glasgow Belles better no take a cycle down to Largs on a nice summer's day, eh?

You and your belles will be most welcome as you know! For a start you won't be contributing to the traffic and parking problems. You'll be hungry, so the seagulls won't get any of your chips or ice cream, and best of all you don't have a TV to rush home to. You might even buy me a .
I hope that was gushingly positive enough to please the "my glass is always brimming over" brigade.

I like the irony that it's a tourist bus.

Have Cambridge council not yet approved the legislation that allows buses to run over ignorant eejuts yet?

Same corner, an hour or so later. The group are just moving off, but had been standing still blocking the pavement for at least 30 seconds

At this point I’m pushing a mower with a dumpy bag of grass perched on top. I had to go out into the road to avoid this

A student group loitering and blocking the pavement. Just after I took this pic a taxi stopped on the double yellow lines to set down right in front of me. I may have given him some advice.

^^^ what’s annoying about these large groups is that the ‘leader’ doesn’t whip them into one or two lines.

Only if the university approved!
