Very true Piperboy, I lost count of the times I was phoned from Leuchars to be told I should attend when even the !!!!ehawks in Bathgate were walking to work.
After crossing the Forth and seeing brighter skies, I eventually got used to leaving the rain behind by the time I was turning off the motorway after Balado and then having a few hours flying between Montrose, Perth & Pittenweem, which had seemed very unlikely over breakfast.
