This wouldn't be a problem but on such a nice straight bit of road you resent breaking from 60mph to 30mph down to 20mph to go through it especially since there is nothing there.
After a few months of being annoyed at Dairsie's existence we started to make a game of driving through and spotting the things Darsie has to offer. A few weeks later after a trip to Glasgow and back we were off comparing small town commodities to those of Dairsie and as such a travel challenge arose.
Much like the Michelin ISpy books of our childhood for every town we drive through we have a book containing check lists in, comparing everything to our now beloved Dairsie.

This has also started us on having our photos take with signposts of these towns
And we even gifted a Dairsie jigsaw to Becca.
After a while we discovered Drum. It has an awesome name, so we have to go there. Much to our disappointment there was absolutely nothing there. No sign of a bus stop, nothing. We'd reached a new low of town rubbishness. So now a new challenge began to find towns comparable to Drum. A much shorter list started.
In honour of Drum, towns with cool names but absolutely nothing there.
Drum
Pickletillum
Moonzie
Tay Bridge
Ratho Station
We are working hard on our guide book of places not to visit hoping that our mafia faction in Germany and upcoming travel results in this becoming an international guide book. Of course the book has to look the part too.
So that's page 1 and the beginning of the adventure, further pages will appear at some point when one of us can be bothered to type up a table.
