On Remembrance Sunday, I was making deliveries in Glasgow.

I had changed out of my normal company uniform to my Army blazer, poppy and medals and gone out fit for parade.

As 11am approached I found myself at Fitzroy Place, on Sauchihall Street, where I parked to observe the two minute silence.

As I stopped, a lady was standing a few feet away from me.

When the church bells sounded, we stood together, in silence, until the bugle call broke the silent spell.

Then, without a word, I got back in my van and the lady set off at a brisk pace about her business.

I served 22 years in the Army and this is always a special moment in my year, we really do appreciate those who also share our moment.

Thank you, whoever you were, you made my special moment even more memorable this year.

Poles apart

Regards police going to Poland to hire new officers, is it beyond Police Scotland to introduce language training so that our officers can communicate with the Polish community?

Or has the job of being a PC become so unattractive they are forced to go abroad to find staff?

Maybe, the thought of walking the beat until aged 65 puts folk off.

Scared of EU

I'D be horrified if, thanks to anti-European feeling south of the Border, much of it drummed up by backbench Tories and Ukip supporters, if the UK was to leave the EU.

This week, Europe united to remember its war dead. We would do all those men and women a disservice if we were to return again to a continent of squabbling nation states.

Even the CBI, the voice of British industry, thinks David Cameron is off his head to threaten withdrawal from the EU.

And, since when did the free-market oriented Tory party decide that the free movement of people had become a problem? Cameron is running feart.
