Don't forget boys and girls, now is the time to pull that ragwart.
"why?" would be the obvious question, me thinks. Ragwart is deadly poison to horses. One bite and they are dead before they can swallow. Next month it will go to seed, better to pull it now. I seem to remember your telling me that yew was deadly poison to horses too |

The Bank of Scotland have a superb musuem (Free entry) at the top of the Mound here in Edinburgh. Working in the Pensions industry I found it an amazing place with so many fantastic stories. If your ever in Edinburgh well worth a visit. This link holds some interesting facts, mostly about Scottish Banks but anyone with an interest in the history of money should enjoy it. There is a paragraph about parliament (I think) trying to stop Scotland producing notes under £5 many years ago. I suspect this may have something to do with why we hold onto them. Currently there are 3 banks in Scotland that can produce notes - BOS - RBOS and Clydesdale Only the Bank of England can produce notes in Englandshire. http://www.rampantscotland.com/SCM/banknotes.htmGeo |

The most insidious of rules are those that aren't rules at all.
They are the limitations that we invent for ourselves

Why can't a one-legged woman give change for a pound? Because she's only got half a knicker. |
