It was weird, when I left school at half past nine tonight, I drove down to take the main road past the Kilbirnie shops. A car in front of me stopped because the whole street was lined with cars with their hazard lights flashing. There were at least fourteen cars. They were all double-parked, all with people sitting in them, lights off but hazard lights flashing, it was really odd. The car in front of me didn't move so I tooted. It crept forward, then stopped, so I tooted again, I wanted to get out of there, it looked like trouble! Finally after a couple more false starts, the car in front of me moved forward gingerly between the line-up of cars with me hot on its tail for protection, and we both made it through to the next intersection where we ended up side by side. The other driver was a young woman with her migrant mother from the looks of it in the passenger seat. She smiled at me. We both wound down our windows and I said, 'what the hell was that back there?' and she said she had no idea but she was really scared! We have no idea whether it was a gang of thugs waiting for someone or what. Looked like Samoans, but I really have no idea...
