Hello friends! Follow me for rubbish puns about cakes and cabbages and things! (Also some Scottish convenience retailing news.)

@ImogenGBlake It's exciting, huge fun, and a window into a deeply troubling aspect of US culture, all at once. I went to The Gun Store. Still have the t-shirt, but it's a bit.. ahem... tight, these days, so I sadly can't model it.

@ImogenGBlake They have some great shooting ranges in Vegas where you can go fire pistols, shotguns and machine guns. Not massively expensive and it is quite the experience. Something to write about.

Wonderful floral surprise to brighten up Monday afternoon @merciecaltd. Thank you @ScotGrocerEd - much appreciated!

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

@ScotGrocersFed Wholeheartedly agree.

@David_FDFScot @scottishgrocer @FDFScotland Oh, that's harsh.

Hey now! Who's this handsome chap on the contents page of the March issue of @scottishgrocer?

@David_FDFScot @FDFScotland

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

The March issue of @scottishgrocer has arrived at the office. Ice cold. Wonder what kind of journey it's been on to get here. (I'm not going to post a pic of the front cover. It's got cigs on it and you probably wouldn't be able handle it)

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

Interesting times ahead... https://t.co/GvXT7hhGrS

@mrdavidwhitley I'd watch it. I'd watch any film that attempted to paint a fair and accurate picture of genocides undertaken by the British in the 19th and 20th centuries.

@LisaCMoore @merciecaltd I'm very glad to be home, Lisa. Especially knowing how many others continue to be stuck between destinations. Hope to see you again, once I feel psychologically recovered enough to venture out of Glasgow.

Putting on a fresh pair of socks for the first time in four days and opting for Christmas novelty, seeing as that appears to be where we are now. #beastfromtheeast #Snowmageddon

Edinburgh - I am in you!!!!

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

@David_FDFScot It must have been a photo finish. ;)

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

HAHA! I won!!! https://t.co/4F4j1pqLWL

[David Thomson @David_FDFScot]

@ScotGrocerEd Well done sir - just landed in Edinburgh!

[SG Editor @ScotGrocerEd]

Thanks are also due, I should mention, to @scottishgrocer assistant editor Matthew Lynas, who has been in the office every day this week, keeping on top of events and in touch with retailers.

@fakeplasticbeez You're brave. I'm never leaving the house again!

[Network Rail Scotland @NetworkRailSCOT]

While we appreciate disruption is never easy, this gives you some idea of the scale of the problem we have been dealing with.

Drifting snow accumulating again after lines have been cleared is really frustrating and on this scale presents a serious challenge to our ploughs
