Voice got a bit shakey at times, but think I got my points accross.
Anyway, Transport Scotland have been in touch with Radio Scotland for my contact details.

Probably something about Salmond being pals with Murdoch and if you keep your opinions to yourself, they'll put a good word in for a bung

what should I say to them?

WWTJD?
What happened at Ross County?

Eh lost me there. What would the jedi do?
Ah, think I've got it. What would TJ do?
😆
