    I've only been to Scotland once (Glasgow) and that was work related

    We manufactured and installed the Luggie Park footbridge in Kirkintilloch (sp) so went up for a site visit for the day

    Oddly I wasn't allowed by work to go unaccompanied, I had a male escort. :eek:

    They never worried about that when I went off to Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham. ;)

    I have been to Glasgow twice in my life one for a cousins wedding when I was 7 or 8 I think might have been bit older. Gosh that's a bad sign I can't remember. :o

    Second time was for work in my twenties, I had to try and train some Scots how to word process. ;)

    What an easy job

    Most of us have a limited vocabularly and can only really process a few words

    ginger
    jings
    och aye
    hoots
    braw
    lassie
    laddie
    bairn
    dole
    fitba'

    Oh, I want one of those. Are they Morrisons raspberries? I found some of them in the freezer today, so put them in a crumble along with some blackberries from next doors garden. Free pud :D

    Good call, they were the £1 ones :)

    I hope the holes in the fence are big enough to pass the bottles through :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If not we'll have to think of something else to pass through :cool:

    FC we would have drunk it all by the time they cut the holes big enough for our stashes. ;) :rotfl:

    No :eek: these ladies are offering square sausage.......and in time bridies, some chip shop sauce (mmmmmmm) and hopefully a few empire biscuits. I'd give some of my wine stash up for that :D the icing has to be shiny on the empire biscuits though :naughty::D

    When I first went to Scotland many moons ago I ordered a breakfast in a cafe, but wasn't quite expecting what I got.....A square sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom.......... and all in a bap :eek: !!!!!! is that all aboot.

    I said I didn't ask for it like that, the reply was, you didn't say you didn't want it in a bap :rotfl: One good reason to keep the heathens out ! :D
    my wife never used to drive on motorways, so after she got her confidence I started reading the paper. she unexpectedly turned off the motorway. I said "why did you turn off here"? she replied "you did not tell me to stay on it" :rotfl:
