Musings from the Merse
Saturday, May 16, 2009
The roar of Boy racers is heard in the land- hearing the second Cuckoo you might say- as Tout Berwickshire girds itself up (or leaves the County) for the Jim Clarke Rally. Huttonian and the wife are in the leaving the county-actually country- category and will have to rise at Sparrowfart to get away before the Rally kicks off-or revs up-in the early hours of Friday morning. As you will see here Duns will be closed to the outside non racing world for most of Friday and Saturday and it is a holiday week end to boot (npi)Having endured two Rallies-in Hutton-we will be very happy to escape the epicentre for a brief visit to Norn Iron. The eye of a hurricane is usually calm and quiet-neither epithet will apply to central Duns this coming week end.
Up to then we will watch the rear view mirror for the hyper Boy Racers, keep out of the single track roads in the Lammermuirs where they will be showing off their skills with total disregard of their own safety
and anyone else's

And to think we have to cover Scotland in wind farms to keep the boy racers (or the more elderly stuck at a stage of arrested adolescence)on the road emitting carbon like mad. Perhaps that Milliband should address his opprobrium towards them. There was a yellow one of them playing on the roads and reahearsing early last week.

Is this not a price worth paying then?
No, probably
Most of the elderly seem more inclined towards slow bicycle type races in their MOT failed bangers-at least on the B roads

Tell me about it - the Paxton plague is back with that dark blue VW which goes along the B6461 and exactly 47 mph. What is it with Paxton and dark blue vehicles?

I suspect the owner is, or ought to be, the same person who chivvies the pollia at Community Council meetings for not dealing with speeding vehicles on thePaxton Berwick bit
