Try Glenapp Castle or Knockinaam Hotel. Easily commutable with ferry port.

Norfolk, if you lived up here through the weeks before the vote last year you would have a different take on it! If Nigel and his lot get in (Which I doubt) the break up may be inevitable. As far as your stats go, would love to see some up to date info. As per most PW posts there are many lingering stereotypes of your neighbours north of the border, which are inflamed by a rather treacherous right wing press. This is mainly what causes divide on this Island! I urge anyone who has never been up here, come and have a look around. We are not a bad bunch, it's just a different outlook. When I lived in Suffolk I used to go drinking with some lads from the Norfolk Mountain Rescue Team, well that's what they used to wear on their t shirts.

Who's "we"?

Going out now, will PM you a mark for later in the year. Might be worth a cast or two. ATB Mcleod

Your right Island gun. Can't remember where your based, was it Lewis or Harris? Was a Deer Ghillie on Eishken a long time ago. Cracking place up there, are you getting any Bass up there in the warmer months,? noticed you liked the sea fishing. ATB Mcleod.

Very true Sir!! Never liked the stuff. ATB Mcleod

I, there will be a few sitsinhedges. I'm also sure Northants has it's share of the population receiving benefit. And too much thinking will give you a sore head.

Things aren't always as they seem Kalahari, you are quite correct about the Barnett formula about money coming North, though there are strong reasons why this is the case - Geography, Islands etc. More importantly taxes paid to the treasury are higher. Jimmydean self determination can be awkward in its discussion. You've nothing to worry about.lol ATB Mcleod.

I have not been a man of GB for a long time I'm afraid.

Understand completely Compo (and Keg), depends on your outlook and what life you live.

Keg, I think the tax break for millionaires is sticking in my throat a wee bit.

Had a look at the article Nial, there won't be any government department that hasn't suffered due to austerity measures and by that I mean the UK in general. The article seems to focus on part time study. The employment market is poor and wages are not the best. If your not earning enough you won't be able to pay for further study. Using Scotland as an example many jobs are low pay and low skill. As far as the rumour you hint at, you may be right.

What a load of tosh, do you think your living in the enlightenment? There have been so many policies passed that only help the elite. DC and his cronies have only helped themselves and their friends.

Won't disagree with you Islandgun. It is how the education system is arranged at present. I'm just glad I live in a country that allows its own population to have their course fees paid.

What was so dreadful Gordon R? No need to worry, Bolton is not North of the border.
