London innit. I think the discarded Evening Standard plays a key part in the composition.How does that manage to look so dismal?
Publicly subsidised loss making fancy service for posh Londoners who like holidays in Scotland. Big fan of it myself.Slumming it on public transport

I was going to say it reminded me of Luton’s private terminal. I found myself there once when I was delivering an order to a wealthy client who was due to fly back to China in his private yet.Where are you? An airport executive lounge in 1977?
It's the Caledonian sleeper first class lounge at Fort William I think. I've done the journey many times but never been in the lounge - it's where all the hunting/fishing types wait so they don't have to mix with the other passengers, for example authentic Highland folk using the service as a vital economic link to the UK's capital.
I do. A pleasing thought indeed. Happy Christmas.Do you have any idea how much extra I had to shell out to ensure I would not have the possibility of being anywhere near you?

Yup, it was an attractive enough harbour town until the seafront was destroyed by a road scheme to let you lot get around more easily in your range rovers, and the station moved to its current peripheral location so that rail travellers know their place.I don't blame them. Fort William is a proper dive.
Travel one mile out in any direction and you're in stunning scenery but FW itself is worse than Bracknell town centre
I remember when it was being torn down. I remember the “shopping precinct” being built too. I suppose I must have used the old station but I have no strong memories of that, only when the town was being fucked up by the stilt road and the other works.danny la rouge, do you remember / did you ever use the old Fort William station? Or are you too young? What about you Sasaferrato ?

I lived there for seven years.The fabulous pogofish (who seems to know every inch of Scotshire like the back of his hand) planned our itinerary and told me to give FW a miss. I was intigued, so took a drive up there from Glencoe, thinking "it can't be that bad".
It was. There were 2 lads doing what looked to be synchronised puking outside a Weatherspoons.
We didn't stop long, and Mrs Spy was dying for a piss. She held it until we got to Ballachulish.
Scotland is an extraordinarily beautiful country but Fort William is a wart on its arse.

A minor van- high speedThat is my van in the top picture.
It came to sad end after a high speed encounter with a tree.

They were surprisingly fast.60 in a minor is as impressive as it is dangerous I should imagine.
My dad claimed he used to prepare Derek Bell’s Morris minor vans for the British saloon car championship…the vans were lighter than the cars as they had less glass.They were surprisingly fast.
