Spurious rant number 3

A slight renaming of this now regular tuesday feature as i guess you could construe a fair amount of what i post as ranting. It is another weather related one, although not about the weather itself but about the behaviour of certain brolly carrying unthinking cretins.

For those of you unaware of the layout of Motherwell Town Centre it has a pedestrianised shopping area that has minimal covering from the elements. If it is raining there is limited cover from ceiling high protrusions from the shops at either side of the street and you can avoid the worst of the weather sheltering under them.

So i found myself last week walking in pouring rain, without a jacket through the town centre getting thouroughly soaked because i could not restrict my passage to the covered area as it was filled with selfish gits standing under the roofed sections, holding their umbrellas above their heads and gossiping away to each other while the rain fell heavily whilst i, no means of keeping the rain at bay had to walk around these self indulgent misbegotten wretches getting soaked!
