Here’s something that puzzles me: the frequency of stretched limousines on the streets of Falkirk in the early evening during the week. I’ve lived in, worked in and visited many different places, and never have I seen such a preponderence of limos.
There may be only two in total (one white, one pink) but, walking home from the station, I might spot them three or four times a week, nearly always accompanied by sound of the young female occupants shrieking at passersby. Six o’clock on a Tuesday evening surely isn’t a common time for hen nights? Occasionally a rentable fire engine with a similar clientele passes, Sirens wailing.
Possible explanations:
- Falkirk is the hen night capital of Scotland
- Limousines are the place to be seen if you’re an affluent young woman in Falkirk.
- It’s actually dirt cheap and undercuts the local bowling alley for low-priced fun.
- There is a very small group of girls who enjoy the experience so much they hire a limo over and over again.
- The local novelty car hire company is trying an innovative method to promote its service.
- The daughter of the owner of the local novelty car hire company likes taking her friends out for a spin.
Alas, I fear this is a mystery that will remain unsolved.
Maybe the limo is cheaper per person than the local taxi company?
I once walked up Dundee Law. When I reached the top a limousine slowly made its way up the road to the top of the hill, turned around the small roundabout-shaped dead-end at the top and slowly made its way back down again. The most sheepish wrong turn ever?
I passed 4 on my walk from Tesco’s to my flat last night in Bathgate, they may be breeding.
There does seem to be a marked increase in the number of limos on the streets at the moment. I boil with internal rage when I see the stretched hummers going around. I can find it in me to even try to understand how someone could think that something so vulgar was a good way to spend an evening.
I might start carrying around bags of damp charcoal to pelt at them as they squeal by merrily.
I might not though.
