So he headed back to Gilmerton - and we sat in the huge queue on the Gilmerton Road instead. Having left the office early after hearing about the accidents - and getting a lift from a work colleague to Cameron Toll - it still took me an hour and a half to get home to Dalkeith.

I could have flown to Amsterdam in less time. Ho-hum....
