Good book isn't it Jah? I only drank bourbon whiskeys before I read that


i did a 10 day road trip in Scotland a few years back - one of my favourite holidays that was - right through the midlands. By the time I got to Oban I felt I had reached Gotham City we had been so isolated

Keef man, if you're going to Scotland, it's WHISKY - no e, that's fighting talk that is.


I'm torn about Scotland: it gave me pneumonia but it also gave me fine single malts, and it is kind of beautiful.


I'm very excited about this book though - Sean my dear, you got a copy going for a lend?

That's exactly the sort of shabby Jock tactic I've come to expect from a tarten turd such as yourself Ted. I find it disturbingly ironic that Holyrood see's it fit to release a terrorist but wont release a beautiful and majestic animal such as a wolf into it's remote wilderness.


It's a pity as I'd quite like to read about grouchy, inbred crofters being bitten by a Wolf.

I'm with MP.


Americans are hysterical. As in disordered.


Their crazy take on a Cuban booking at a Scottish hotel not so long ago? An attempted boycott of Scottish firms.


More Islay malt and Talisker for us. Bring it on.

Scots are comparable to women. When they are good, they are very very good. When they are pissed off, stay the ?$*$ away from them.


If you're a Scottish gal (like myself) then we're double lucky because we get away with twice as much. :o)


Otherwise we'll just give you a 'glasgae' kiss

Not to mention that their so called 'boycotts' are pretty lame, with the whole 'freedom fries' thing they didn't actually stop eating them, just renamed them. What did they seriously expect the French to do?

Say "sacre bleu, the Americans have stopped calling their fried chips 'French Fries', we don't actually make them in France or get any money for the name 'French Fry' but we better bow to their demands and fall to our knees to kiss their feet"

Didn't quite a bit of funding for the IRA come from the States, namely those who claim to be 'Irish Americans', or is that just an urban myth?

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
