I started that but ran out of steam by question 61. How many does it go up to?

From memory around 80. If you have got to the really important questions about your sexuality then you're home and dry ...........

They seem far more interested in how often you use the bus and train between Inverness and Aberdeen (and if you don't, why not) than why the road needs upgraded from diddy to dual between 2 Scottish cities.

I don't remember answering a question about whether I spoke gaelic or not so either they have missed a trick or I lost the will to live and got to the point of ticking the first option to everything asked

I thought there had been a consultation and a route agreed .... or is this the usual Scottish Government asking again and again until they get the answer they want?

Transport Scotland are extremely anti car now so you can see how this is going to pan out.

Pretty much.

I think any normal government would want to dual it, but as we now have the greens in govt it's a convenient excuse to "revisit". Apparently everyone in the north of Scotland is now WFH so there is less demand, and it's absolutely nothing to do with having no money and realising it was a rash commitment in the first place.
