I remember when I was at school, we had the Edward Lawson Centre up the road from it and numerous children went there every morning picked up in a blue and yellow Motherwell District Council "special" bus.

An interesting subject that you could quite easily get into tin foil hat thinking about. Kind of glad I'm 45 and won't see this potential brave new world
