Wee bitey things, can move big clumsy things.

Still driving a frankly ridiculous #smartroadster after #MS diagnosis on Christmas Eve 1999.

@NWTrunkRoads can someone try and release the back log of traffic on Fort William A82, which is caused by the temporary traffic lights A830 on the Blar Mhor. It's backed up over 2 miles.

[Thomas MacLennan @midgebite]

The state of play today , over 2 miles of queueing traffic from temporary lights on A82, practically nothing on A830. Please adjust the lights. Asking as a @HighlandCouncil local councillor.

[BEAR NW Trunk Roads @NWTrunkRoads]

@midgebite @trafficscotland @HighlandCouncil We’re making adjustments to optimise them & hope things will settle down in the coming days with the right adjustments. We thank you & all road users for your patience whilst the works are carried out (2/2)

[Thomas MacLennan @midgebite]

@NWTrunkRoads is anybody monitoring the traffic hold up on Fort William A82 it's over 2 miles of traffic on one side of temporary lights with hardly anything on the other! Can someone adjust the lights.

[Thomas MacLennan @midgebite]

@trafficscotland there are traffic lights at roadworks on the A830 today which has 300 yards on one side and 3 miles of queueing traffic on the other side, this has paralysed Fort William can somebody adjust the lights for tomorrow asking as a @HighlandCouncil Councillor.

[Thomas MacLennan @midgebite]

@trafficscotland @NWTrunkRoads The crash site is between Lochybridge and Torlundy near the Golf Club on A82.
Not at Inverlochy, A830 traffic to Mallaig should be unimpeded.

It's funny how Border Terriers will put up with getting their coats striped until a certain age, then it's sod this for a game of soldiers, I've had enough of this nonsense.
Our oldest who's 13 now looks like cross between a BT and Wurzil Gummidge.

[Maggie Moo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Maggie_the_BT]

Seems I’m too old (10) to tolerate back-end stripping now, so my rear was ‘clipped’ instead.

Mairi my fur-dresser says “I tried not to make it look like a cut-and-shunt job”. Cheeky.

Saw this and immediately thought of you Midge Bite Cafe - it’s at Achnasheen in Ross Shire @midgebite
