Not sure Mad, I was just joking. The water is too cold anyway, that's the real reason I wouldn't swim there . There is a beach up North called Midfield Beach, it has the clearest water anywhere . Great place to swim

Story gave me a chuckle. THANKS. Reminded me of the scene in 'Catch Me If You Can' where the kid pretends to be the new physics teacher (think it's physics) and Christopher Walken (playing 'Di Caprio's' dad) is sooooooo proud of his boy.
Nice Job, lets hope they don't call you out for a recall tho.
You near Ayr Sark? That's where my mother's from and half my family are still dotted around the west.

I am in Kilmarnock, which is fairly close to Ayr. I was at Ayr a few days ago taking my dogs a walk. |

im sure you will be welcomed with open arms. some of the ayrshire coast has become very ghost townish. The coucil are trying to build it back up again. there are mansions lying empty on the north ayrshire coast giving an indication of previous wealth of the population. im sure it will go back to that. The sea-side hasnt changed a bit and still goes on for miles and in ayr itself you still have all those things that make a childhood special. amusments, candy floss, fish and chips etc
hope you enjoy your trip when you go

Cheers Mad  I've heard that Ayr harbour has been 'developed' and is nowt like I remember. That provided a picture postcard scene and was a welcome sight for a kid from the concrete jungle that is Birmingham. 'Progress' eh! |

Wow £40 is cheap, I'm a plumber and I wouldn't get my butler to walk all the way to the west wing and wake me up for that. THIS |

No, I didn't get any money. But I had to sign a sheet. Unfortuately I forgot the name of the company I was representing. I had to make an excuse, so I could find a pay phone and call my friend and ask the company name. No comment about the XML's So you will get paid then when your pretend company invoices £200 for the work... mmmmm us real plumbers don't get out of bed for less than £300 |
