While I'm here. Road blocking has been happening in London frequently, and most recently the whole M25 has been closed by anti-vaxxers, rats exist in everywhere, and no-one is on strike as yet. For accomodation, at an Olympics they build a whole village to put up the attendees, and for COP many of the visitors are VIPs needing protection, we don't usually have that sort of cover for our own policians here, far less other peoples. (The First Minister lives at home in a regular housing estate, the Official Residence is only marked by one polis at the door, it's on a bus route in Edinburgh and you can park across the road when going shopping. It's not exactly the White House.)
I wouldn't let yourself get irritated by this thread, Glasweegran. There's a great big wooden spoon being wielded...
