Dear Sir/Madam,
HILL VIEW
It is now time for them to address the annual carnage of hillwalkers and mountaineers in the hills of Scotland.
Whilst a blanket ban on such activities might inconvenience a few
people and businesses, gallivanting around the more elevated portions of
our countryside is no more necessary than drinking and driving and its
abolition would save many more lives.
John Eoin Douglas
Extraordinarily novel, fresh and utterly misguided suggestion.
ReplyDeleteKeep taking the drugs fella !
ReplyDeleteHe is no more necessary than drinking and driving and should be abolished.
ReplyDeleteWhat a retard. Best not cross any roads or drive your car John - think of the annual carnage !
ReplyDeleteI'll not be driving over the new limit as I'll stick to one pint as per Mr MacAskill's recommendations.
ReplyDeleteNow about this carnage pish?
Just ignore him. Another attention seeker spouting verbal diarrhoea.
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteIt appears you know little about the countryside and mountains and any facts about it. Possibly you are attention seeking or something? As someone has already suggested.
Are you completely oblivious to the benefits of outdoor recreation to folks health and well being mentally and physically for young and old. Also the mass tourist industry in the highlands that benefits people from the outdoor instructors, land owners, shop keepers, B and B's, Hotels, Butchers, restaurant, joiners, builders, all the folk who staff these places etc etc.
I believe in any study ever done the unfortunate and hugely rare mishaps in the outdoors are massively massively out weighed by the benefits of being in the mountains for people.
Drink driving on the other hand has no benefits to anyone as you say.
I'm very disappointed your article made it to the Sunday post as you will influence some people without the facts to your unfortunate view. I can't say strongly enough how disappointed I am with you, as a human being, for such comments on people enjoying the mountains.

John, why don't you come out of your cocoon and come along for a hillwalk? You might actually enjoy the non existent carnage you speak of.
ReplyDeleteYou sir are a legend.
ReplyDeleteLay off the furniture polish you weapon!
ReplyDeleteStick to the office job and leave the countryside to us! I will send you some toilet duck for Xmas!
ReplyDeleteHilarious troll job. Had a right good laugh at the second half of this blog post.
ReplyDeleteExcellent stuff. As an avid hill walker I really appreciate your concerns for my safety. Thank goodness Scotland has men of vision.
ReplyDeletePS I suspect you are elderly. I read the other day that 'irony' is the opposite of 'wrinkly'. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThis letter tells us all we really need to know about Mr Douglas and The Sunday Post.
ReplyDeleteOut of touch and irrelevant.
If you read the rest of this blog I think you might find this is a wind up. And it's worked.
