Close Encounters in Glasgow Traffic

Honk! If your feeling happy!

Close encounters

THIS year's Glasgow Doors Open Day programme lists the Traffic Control Centre which will have an "exhibition of the new bus information system that tracks buses from outer space and gives them priority at traffic signals".

So, we're looking forward to seeing the buses driven by little green men whizzing by. Beep-a-dee Beep!

Old and blue and borrowed
READER Julie Loughrey in New Lanark tells us: "My husband was giving away the bride at a friend's wedding. As she got in the car, she panicked and said she had forgotten something blue'. So he gave her his bus pass which she popped down the front of her wedding dress. Hope it brings her lots of luck."

If not then at least she'll be able to get home to her mother's without trouble!

Bedding in
EXPATRIATE Tom Laurenson was recording a jazz concert by Seattle band Billet-Deux in the beautiful Meerket Gardens on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle. Between numbers, the band's cellist paid tribute to the gardens, adding that he did not know a lot about horticulture other than "You can take a horticulture, but you can't make her think."
