watch yourself its still legal to kill a scot there if hes wearing a kilt Often heard this being said , though its an urban myth...... well i think it is . We where still sentencing people to Death until early 90s , Judge Donned the Black Cap when he was sentencing i kid you not , though they where always later commuted to life by the Home Office !

Alright mate, about ,000 live here mate , the main work is in the finance sector , though i work in the building trade (painter & decorator)use to be the main holiday destination until the 70s for the U.K. and the island was geared to it , though now i wouldnt recommend it too young families but it is a beautiful place STUNNING countryside to rival anywhere , maybe a bit biased but like going for a holiday but wouldnt live anywhere else in the world to be honest, most people have traveled , though older generation like farmers ect , dont leave there village/area they live in unless they ha

Thats the cut off point Stabba , think the top lads (all just local lads/women) do it 16 to 20 hrs , some going and not for me either , if there aint a dog/dogs with me i have no heart to walk 85ft , but when out with my dogs i can put a good few miles in .

Hahaha, dont think anyone has ever completed the 85 miles and had a drink in every pub , could be a challenge for a few , though you would need the Drinkin capabilitie's off George Best AND Oliver Reed and have the staminia off a Mount Everest explorer !

lanesra replied to lunita's topic in General Talk
Been out with a few pack's as G.T.E said once your exepted (not class exepted, exepted as bein there for the right reason)ive found people spot on , where the rich rub shoulders with the workin class , ive had some terrific days out with hounds from the Lake District to South Wales and met some really good people . -
If you can look down , the man would of been proud off the way his family respected his wishe's and how his friend's respected him , fine post mate !
