Would love to visit Scotland. Some lovely scenery.
The North - No culture, but lots of friendly folk.
The South - Lots of culture, no friendly folk.
I say that as a southerner. I would never live north of, say, Birmingham - just too far away from London and the south coast, but whenever I do go up north I do enjoy the warmth of character. -

I have to join the work from home ranks today. Hinestly, I hate working from home, but trains cancelled. Just hope my house survived without any damage as the wind is horrendous! So glad I dismantled my daughters trampoline last week otherwise I'd be fishing it out of a neighbours garden and paying to replace windows!
I on the other hand didn't dismantle my boys trampoline and woke up to find it upside down half in a neighbours garden. It's a bit broken.
I'm such a tool, I totally forgot about it last night

I used to swap Spectrum games with the wee brother of a recent Turner Prize winner, can't get much more cultured than that.

Plus Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet, National Theatre of Scotland, The Krankies etc. Thriving music and comedy scenes. Not that I actually access any of this. -

I only found out when I tried to use it to avoid Celebrity Big Brother which my wife unfortunately appears to want to watch.
That was a minor disaster. -

Registered 15 years agoYep, if I had the light to get some painting done, but it's too bloody overcast.
As for the trains, it's better cancelling everything and giving advanced notice. Reminds me how chaotic Bawbag 1 was, taking two hours from Edb to Inverkeithing, only to dump 200 passengers there, with 200 more trying to get into Edinburgh. We ended up abandoning everyone and fucking off sharpish (no insurance) back to Edb empty. Ended up in the hairiest four hour taxi trip home ! -
