Got home at 23.50 which was nearly 4.5 hours, parents were glad to get them home though the boys themselves would have been quite happy to have slept in the school for the night, M74 still looks like a car park.

 

Half way to the school to collect the boys a lovely Lady came out of her house and offered the drivers stuck in traffic tea and biscuits, heart of gold

 

Away to be for some beauty sleep, 2 hours should do it

Dundee is just a mess the now, cars parked/abandoned everywhere... no parking on alot of the main city central roads... back streets still not ploughed, cars still prone to getting stuck in the snow... one good thing keeping plumbers busy! LOL

Pandamonium and it is rediculous in this day and age. We all pay heavy council tax so why are they not putting out all the plow/gritters, they don't want to pay the guys overtime and hope the sun will come out and melt the snow. Pen pushers with no regard for public safety. Get yer letters in tae the cooncil noo coz if ye don't they will just keep takin yer doe and spendin it on big fancy meetins wi all the trimmins.
