    I understand everything, both my names are traditional Scottish names, Surname is a clan name, both of which I am very proud of :-D people say my dad still has the Scottish accent, but listening to my brother who still lives in Scotland, my dad sounds more English to me. I know about the' Gallows' my dad will be 91 this year and doesn't remember things like he used to. I have relatives in Ayr, Eastwood and my step nan ,many years ago, lived in Paisley. Wonderful people, in a wonderful country. Cheerio :)

    I was in the "secure document destruction" trade... It was long hours & heavy work, but I actually enjoyed it..

    What about yourself??
