This sort of change reminds me of the “change” recently at Glasgow City Council.

Bringing back another failed MSP back from the dead in the shape of Frank McAveety who is bankrupt of ideas.

They are not listening to the electorate and long may it continue.

WOMEN in Saudi Arabia are now allowed to vote but they aren’t allowed to drive cars, leave home without a male escort, or ditch their headscarves.

In Scotland, 16-year-olds can vote for MSPs but aren’t allowed to buy whisky, cigarettes, or A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Which is sillier?? ?

THE person who robbed those two young boys, (Evening Times, Monday) is the lowest of the low.

I hope he is caught quickly, and when he is, thrown in jail for a very long long time too.

He should also be forced to buy the two boys new mobile phones and his cash confiscated and handed over to the two boys as well.

If you know who this is, do call your local police station now.

READING about the bin lorry going up a street it was seven times too heavy for (Evening Times, Monday) when there is a situation where there is no effective enforcement of these offences, which carry a fine and points, then drivers will ignore them.

Police do not appear to take any action now for offences of this sort.

I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve witnessed mobile and foot officers go by vehicles stopped on zig zags without a second glance.

Although the lorry weighs 7 times the limit on the sign, this restriction is not because of a weak bridge or road construction.

It is a simple way of banning big vehicles.

Another possibility is width restriction.

Either way, enforcement can be an issue, but as MOST motorists are sensible people, it's rarely a problem.

I think you will find that it was introduced to guard against the risk of runaways.

Full marks to the 'Times for maths, though!
