I had planned to drive somewhere e.g. Falkirk Wheel, and do some touristy things when my BF visits me next week-end.
However, due to the Grangemouth Strike this looks unlikely. At least Edinburgh is so beautiful that you can easily fill touristy days, without even spending all that much (it’s got so much free beauty going on, all you have to do is walk through the streets of Old Town, or climb Arthur’s Seat or Calton Hill!).
Ah well. Luckily I don’t necessarily need the car to get to work either, in case the petrol runs out. The other worry is my friends A. and S. though - they live out in South Lanarkshire and commute to work in their two cars every day
Looks like we won’t be able to visit them on public transport either - I don’t think a bus goes there (it’s really oot in the sticks!)
