Restless Natives

Would you buy a plastic Loch Ness monster souvenir from this man?

The burgers of Carrbridge in Scotland aren’t happy. Apparently they are a bit miffed that when the BBC broadcasts its weather forecast to our cluster of islands, with a population of over 60 million, the forecaster fails to mention that it doesn’t rain every day of the year in the village of Carrbridge. Apparently on some days it’s just a little bit cloudy.
You’ve got to give the tourism entrepreneurs of Carrbridge ten out of ten for getting their village of 250 houses on the front page of the BBC news web site though, I’m sure it won’t do business any harm at all.
As a regular visitor to Scotland I can confirm that it doesn’t always rain there, but I wouldn’t risk not taking a coat.
This year I will be neglecting Scotland and travelling south to the balmy climes of Yorkshire and Wales for my hols. I’d better buy a sun hat!
