Gaz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I didn't go through Earl's Gate Roundabout (that's been an absolute c'nt since they stuck the lights in last year so I was already avoiding that) Are you saying the traffic heading to Earl's Gate Roundabout was backed up to TFS !? The traffic heading to Earl's Gate is usually backed up to the Westfield roundabout and onto the A9 bypass. Even without the bridge being shut. It's been like that for as long as I can remember and got even worse when they put the traffic lights onto the Earl's Gate roundabout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I live in the reality where you avoid a route that's pretty widely known to be busy as f**k. The point you've missed yet again, is that I was telling Billy Dynamite he'd be fine crossing in the morning as its been fine in the morning all week. For some reason you chose to take that route in the afternoon when it's rammed. You were replying to two people in the post I quoted, you blithering idiot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Does everyone here thing the A90 and the A9 are the same? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I don't even know why you've got your frilly's in a twist over this to be honest. It wasn't just me who thought your route home was strange. But now you're just making things up. Here's how the convo went just to help you out:It would appear that I am an utter cretin. Carry on - as you were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 As someone who's fairly qualified on this, you and your wife are idiots. Use both lanes. Ooh, where did you get your qualification as an idiot? What 'qualification' is it ? Grade A Kunt by the sounds of it. Lol, my post was way more arsey than intended. Apologies P&B, I accept the well deserved abuse and accept my graduation from Kunt school! However, as has been pointed out, it really doesn't take a genius to figure out that restricting traffic to a single lane for distances far longer than required creates more traffic problems than necessary. It's a fucking pet hate of mine when you get the traffic vigilantes trying to enforce their own, entirely misguided, rules on other road users and sometimes creating unnecessary mayhem in the process! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Going from glenrothes to Glasgow tomorrow morning. Ant fellow p&br's got any advice on what's the best way to go? Did that journey this morning across Kincardine Bridge. Was pretty brutal tbh about 90 mins to get back here. Clacks bridge looked nose to tail the whole way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clacks bridge looked nose to tail the whole way. Thanks folks. Held off until 10:00 and got over to Glasgow at 11:20, so not bad at all. Got held up on the clacks bridge for about 5 minutes but nothing too bad. Go to be in Glasgow for 9:00 next Tuesday though so will get the train instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW - I crossed Clacks bridge earlier today, the traffic was tailed back but was moving slowly and the only time it stopped was when two c'nts (both in Range Rovers) nipped past everyone else and tried to squeeze in right at the fucking cones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thought they might have managed to get it open for the 31st which would have been of great benefit to all those heading across to Embra for the Hogmanay bash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I've no idea why this is suddenly news, they've made it clear as day since closing the target was the return to work, which this year is the 4th of January. They keep emphasising that it's weather dependant, which I can understand, but could also be seen as getting the excuses in early.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzel Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Understand it's bad for drivers and east coasters trying to go about their business, but I resent the closure more for this monstrosity that has just popped up online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
