HenryHill Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If it was meant to spread fear round Dundee, putting it in writing is going to limit its reach. I like the headline being a quote from a random on a bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arabdownunder Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Read this in the travel section of the paper."When you think of Scottish cities, Dundee is not a name that springs to mind. But the capital of Fife..."http://www.theage.com.au/travel/-gykcmz.htmlNot sure whether Dundonians or Fifers would be more upset by this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Another one from one of the local newspapers from near where I grew up. I can honestly say I have no idea what this is about, however to provide some context the intersection quoted in the picture description is way out in the middle of nowhere, at least 100 miles from Montreal which is the biggest city in Quebec so it's some rural suspicion of city folk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is from my home town and it's pretty incredible how many drivers, particularly lorry drivers struggle with the concept of roundabouts and end up crashing their trucks.
