I know we’ve already have a Glass Half Empty post , how’s about a broken glass post now? ?
From a purely selfish point the first few lockdowns and how quiet it was on the roads , local parks, beauty spots ( and there is loads here ) was almost heavenly for me
Now it’s absolutely murder!!!
I know parts of Scotland always get tourists at this type of year , campervans, caravans , coaches etc but with holidays abroad still being the way the are the amount of people crammed into these areas and onto the already inadequate roads is a nightmare!
Then you add the “ Young Team” and the Tik Tok brigade , you know the ones that make a car park with a mountain behind it look like one of the Wonders of The Natural World so that half the population of under 25’s NEED to drive there to see it… not to mention the NC500 which is like a Scottish Mecca now
the lack of driving etiquette, manners and standards of this lot is abysmal , the rubbish thats left behind , the behaviour when they get there and the driving itself that takes them is atrocious
When you get into the Highlands there are lots of roads that are single track but generally have lots of passing places that w couple of cars can pull in , let a few past then continue again , that’s just the way it is, sometimes you need to wait , sometimes people need to wait on you
but that’s all out the window now, cars are just abandoned there while the young team have a BBQ at the side of the road , or they want to paddle in a big puddle and make a tik tok about “Wild Swimming”
to say it grinds my gears doesn’t scratch the surface
I’d be here all night listing all the wrong things they ( not all youngsters ) but the vast majority do
And a lot of Asians ( from Scotland btw ) aren’t much better , and that’s no racial nonsense here – it’s stuff I see every single time I’m at Loch Lomond , hundreds of them flock there on daily basis , they spend they day there and take food/bbq’s – absolutely nothing wrong there but what is wrong is the amount of rubbish they leave behind , yous wouldn’t believe it
Everyone is sick of it , all the locals ( me included ) but in this day and age people are scared to pull them up or complain as the first thing you’ll get in response in the Race Issue , when the only issue is the Rubbish and lack of respect for the area
So… lol
i guess I’m looking forward to everything getting back to normal for the youngsters , night clubs , pubs open all night etc etc so they can all bigger off back to that lifestyle
And holidays to be as easy as they once were for EVERYONE to bugger off to so there’s a vast reduction of people on the roads/beauty spots that I frequent ??
that would be just grand! Sooner rather than later thanks ?
