    Depends on where you went to school. I was taught he was a Strathclyde Briton from Dunbartonshire but he could have been a Cumbrian or Welsh Briton. Definitely not English as they're Germans. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Oooooh Controvertial. Your right though.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Is anybody doing the St Pat's visits in Scotland? There were loads of visits which vanished and the only ones I can still see are all across the border.

    Ooooh, thumbs up to ESA. I think they have been reading this thread. Just had an answer phone message and she clearly said what the mystery shops were, where they were and how much they paid. Now if this was an MF report, I would gladly give it full marks because it made me feel lovely and warm inside knowing exactly why I had been contacted and full details were portrayed to me in a manner which was not rushed and easy to understand. Wooooo!

    PS. How sexist are some of the posh beauty salons. Got offered a monthly mysterious jaunt to have my hair done, only to then be told it was ladies only! Don't they understand that men have haircuts too! Boohoo.

    Ha your right it does depend where you come from as to what you are taught as he was a Britton when I was at school.

    As for all being german, it really depends on where you want to stop history as to where we come from does it not?

    NIM I am definately from the English side of the border, Cheshire to be exact =)

    I had a similar call with all the details you could need so thumbs up however I still would not be doing the visit.....ESA seem to have been dead this month, not really seen anything much at all on there, I hope they pick up soon as I quite like working for them.

    Don't know about Scotland but they seem to have shifted less than 150 of the 600 or so that I could originally see so don't think they will move them all.

    Thats why I was wondering if the visits have been cancelled in Scotland. I could see a few hundred, next time I logged on they were all gone. Even the ones in places that I would expect to be hard to cover.

    I don't get why you have to be Irish or have any connection to Ireland to have a good night out? Go to the right place and it's a better night than New Year's Eve.

    I used to enjoy going out on St Georges day before the PC police stopped us celebrating it! I find it strange that we are allowed to fly the flag of another country but yet we can't fly our own!

    I also loathe NYE! Or really any night where people who aren't regular pub go-ers decide to hit the town. Lairyness often ensues. Or Hen Nights. I'm am a Grumpy Old Man (even though I'm female in my 30s)

    In Other News I've been tweaking post 2. I've changed RE to Market Force (and mentioned they are MFers), added in Serve Legal, and put a note on Helion's entry that their online training is great.

    Any other requests/ suggestions?

    Don't know if this is allowed or whether anyone would be interested.. but after getting an email from Bare regarding raising money for Sport Relief, I thought I would tell all about a project I'm currently involved in...

    Video's have been known to bring a tear to the eye..

    Apologies if I keep going on about it but this is where I will be in a couple of weeks...
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
