Travelling to Scotland

[poohshunny]

I am a Scot living in England. I was travelling to Scotland on Sunday. I was dissapointed to se that the 'Welcome to Scotland' sign on the M6 has gone and been replaced by a 'Welcome to Dumfries and Galloway' sign. On my return journey this afternoon, I saw that the 'Welcome to England' sign is still there. Does anyone know why?

Aww thats crud -I dont know why- but when I was drove to England and back a few weeks back there were big signs -straw hats and trumpets (exago lol) but that was on the A1.

Will ask H cos he travels the M6 every 2nd Thursday so he would notice surprised he hasnt said -then he might have and I might have just nodded lol

I agree wizard and I aint your ex :)

Hi Wizard. Thanks for your answer. I remember when I was a kid, we used to count down when crossing the border in both directions. Looking out for the signs was a fun part of the journey. I'm sad to say, it felt like the end of an era when I saw it was gone :-(

I would agree poohshunny -I was even excited driving down and seeing the signs and i'm ancient lol

[poohshunny]

Hi Drisgirl. I'm glad there is still a sign somewhere, but I think there should be one on the M6, as this is the main road used to travel from England to Scotland.

Ermm -think so wizard -cant be sure tho lol x

[Drisgirl]

Good try tho -I wouldnt even attempt it at this time of the morning and on that note -im away to try to crawl into my bed hoping that my pals wee dolly birds have finally succumbed to slumber.
