Hi, Thanks for the welcome and your warnings ! Regarding Alice's questions


Okay the questions.

Do you have kids ?

Whats your views on windfarms ?

Would you swear allegiance to the Scottish flag ?

Do you like the wind rain and snow ?




1) North Northumberland

2) Yes, its a CNC posting

3) No, though it is mentioned in our house almost as much as when can we get married :eek:

4) Not sure , they are a very emotive issue round here as well but I lost interest in the local debate as Im cynical and think its more likely money and land owner/business back scratching will be the factor that wins the debate rather than the environment in our case.

5) Well Ive sworn allegiance to a Scottish lass so what's another little step, Lord knows its embarrassing to be English at the minute.

6) No , but my Dad likes Earth Wind and Fire

Ive promised my ancient greyhound Betty that we will move to Bettyhill for her twilight years :lol:

[unicorn]

If you dont like wind rain and snow then run away fast [lol] Staple Caithness weather :lol:

[poppett]

Alice asked most of the usual questions, just one from me..........Who was your granny?

My granny always asked of anyone new being introduced this question, so i feel i should keep up the family tradition:lol:

[Tighsonas4]

i think home is where you hang your hat pal and if the wife is scottish that makes you half scottish anyway [lol]
enjoy it and it can be quite good, life is what you make of it tony
