Subject: RE: BS: Advice for North American driving in UK
Roundabouts - I had a friend who sometimes worked for an executive car hire company. He was occasionally asked to chauffeur a visitor from Glasgow Airport to the various destinations.

The regular drivers used to play "games" with US visitors. Exiting Glasgow Airport, there are at least 2 roundabouts, and then it's straight onto the M8 motorway.

The drivers would delight in hitting the roundabouts at about 30 or 40 mph, spin right round about twice and then skite off onto the M-way, leaving American visitor a quivering wreck in the back of car... ********************************************** Maryrrf - I think you were at Girvan, is that right?

If you make it to Glasgow, look in at St Andrew's in the Square on a Wednesday evening. There's a regular singing session from 8pm which is well attended and very welcoming.

Dita - another 'Catter - is often there, as am I...

enjoy your visit...
