Glasgow!
It had snowed overnight - I knew it would as we get national weather reports, which of course include Scotland. It was a lovely lickle powdering - fine to walk through.
For all of this trip I'd done everything through the internet, down to finding out where the local Wetherspoons (chain of cheap and friendly pubs that open early and serve breakfast) were located. I exited Glasgow Central, following the signs for Platform 14 and then Argyll Street as instructed. Yay! There it was, the Moore! I was 10 minutes early, but when you're dragging a heavy bag the last thing you want to do is trudge around the streets...
Ah.... Nope.
A polite and decent member of staff saw me waiting and bothered to tell me they didn't opne until nine (many staff won't, secure in their knowledge of opening times and belief you are a stupid twat).
I've sent an email tot heir Head Office re the incorrect details on the internet, but also in praise of the staff memeber who made an effort to speak to me AND pointed me in the right direction for an alternative breakfast.
Here is a rather blurry shot of Argyll Street.
The closed pub is on the right, at least the overhang gave a clear pavement. The snow at this point is freshly fallen and dusty - nothing like what we encountered later.
