| Re: scottish sympathy Of course I'm a wee bit biased but I have heard it many times, the Scots are some of the most friendly and generous people in the world. Prior to marrying I took my sweetie back to Scotland to meet my family, she is very interested in Scottish history so we toured around the country and she was amazed at the place. We spent a wonderful full day at St Andrews and I wanted to buy her a nice sweater at the woolen mill, prices of course are ridiculous averaging $120.00 Can. ( the same sweater in a good store in Toronto is much cheaper ). She examined the selection carefully then asked me what the difference was between " new wool and virgin wool " of course I could not resist it. I told her that virgin wool came from the sheep that ran the fastest, oh she said, not having a clue as to what I meant. why not !! |
