As a frequent user of the A83 to get to Kintyre, this plan is totally bonkers. It's going to involve roughly 1500 days of disruption. It was taken 150yrs to reach that due to landslides, based on historic data. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

What item has given you best value in terms of use? I bought a secondhand Herman-Miller Aeron chair for about £500 in ~2009. Must have used it nearly every day since. Reckon it has another fifteen years in it.
