Honk For Hope

I was in Edinburgh on business and got to see the 'Honk For Hope' demonstration. 250 empty coaches drove through the city centre to highlight the plight of their industry. Demonstrations were held across Europe. At this time of the year Edinburgh is usually thronging with coach-loads of tourists from around the globe. The coach tour company that Mrs. Legodude's grandparents frequently use for UK based holidays has already closed down. When the Job Retention scheme ends in October, many in the coach industry furlonged at present face redundancy.
