Scotland lacks jobs that I'm qualified for, would like to do and pay well enough.  I'd be back in a heartbeat if I found a suitable job in Scotland. Not that England's a bad place, you understand.

Nice one Jim. You've managed to insult the "ex-pat" Scots and all Englishmen in one short sentence!
 
But Al's failed to bite on my last remark. Maybe I should have waxed lyrical about the beautiful mountains of Fenland.

Anyone know whether the cold period is predicted to last into the new year, or will the BM be sailed in 14 degrees (C, that is!) and sunshine?
We now have 4 or 5 inches of snow in North Wilts.

Pity you couldn't have sailed among the heather on the bonnae slopes of Lochnagar, eh?

Drome home from High Wycombe to Ricky last night and found out that my little "Cold" warning light on the dash turns off at -6 ... and I saw -9 on the way down the M40. Roads were clear, little snow on the trees/paths etc from the inch we had yesterday, but woke up this morning to about 3 inches, looks like about 5 or 6 now. 

Focus that just drove up the road was using its front bumper as a snowplough ... Looks like the drive to work Monday is gonna be fun :D

Why is it that when you meet Scots living in England, they're often Super-Scots, always banging on about how much better it is in Scotland (while continuing to live in England), yet when you go to Scotland the people seem much more normal?


Because it is a harmless way of winding people up... hook, line, sinker.  LOL
