Hullo All!

Just thought i'd say Hi from rainy old Scotland!

I've been reading various posts over the past few days and though it was about time i introduced myself.

I live in Glasgow, work in a call centre (oh joy!) and i have a daughter who is 8 and takes up ALL my spare time! I passed my driving test finally at the fifth attempt last November and got myself a wee vroom vroom and loving this driving lark! :driving: Anything else u wanna know, just ask!

I shall go now and stop waffling, take care x

No it's more like drive on, pause look at the view, move six feet pause, admire the view, move six feet, pause admire the view, try and work out how high the rain is bouncing, move six feet, pause wonder of the train is realy that much more inconvenient move six feet, pause----- tune in to radio 2 listen ti the road report and thank the stars you are not in London where the traffic is really bad

Directory Enquiries or the old 192 as some of u might know it. The USA's n Canadians amongst u will know me as Directory Assistance!

Since it was changed over, we no longer say 'Directories, which name please?' we have to say nonsense like 'Which name or service please!'

We get asked the most stooooooooooooopid of questions from Mr Joe Public, the best one ever, was one Xmas i was asked how to cook a turkey! :wah:

Usually we check the threads and see what interests us and then put in our two cents worth. If you don't see anything that captures your imagination then you start your own thread and see what happens. There has to be like-minded people out there.
