Raintown

YESTERDAY, 7.59am: HeraldScotland posts story about giant “umbrella” planned for rain-plagued Fort William. Thirty-one minutes later: Reader Keith McAllister posts the following: “It’s 08.30 and I’m dismayed that there isn’t one comment yet blaming the SNP for the rainfall in Fort William. Standards are slipping as we near Christmas.”

CRAIG Crawford, spotting this sign at Harthill services, reflects that it’s better to be called forward than backward.
