To be honest I can see the point of variable limits as I can see that when obeyed they keep the traffic moving and avoid racing to the next queue, stop-start. They would be excellent on the Edinburgh by-pass/M8 area where there are some fixed 50mph limits which normally are clear and would justify the 70mph limit but which sometimes are choke points and would justify a 50 or even 40mph limit to keep the traffic flowing. As it is they just act as toll roads with the charges being extracted from the unwary!
And yes, Dezzy, I was going off on one. Something to do with driving my daughter's Hyundai i20 around those very roundabouts and across the Erskine bridge whilst the 8 was in for an expensive lightbulb change... 
My doctor says I'll be alright as long as I keep taking the medication.
