Are Scots More Dangerous Pedestrians?

When I was in Scotland, I saw an article in The Scotsman entitled Scotland is ‘deadliest place to go for a walk’

Here’s the first paragraph.

Scotland has Europe’s worst record for pedestrian deaths in towns and cities, campaigners claimed yesterday, as new official figures showed the total soared by one-third last year.

I don’t know but as a careful pedestrian, who always waits for the green, I found that in Edinburgh and Glasgow, I’d wait and found when it went green, everybody else had long gone.

So perhaps Scots do walk more dangerously!

Does The Devil Look After Her Own?

Admittedly, I don’t live in a place, which is likely to suffer much from today’s storms, which seem mainly to be a gloomfest for the media.

But I’ve already had my very lucky escape from a big storm, as I said here.

I have a feeling though that this storm, won’t be anything like that one in October 1987.
