I'm surfing Google maps looking for a particular business just now, and typed in a search for Scottish businesses in the Prescott area. Heading the list of Scottish businesses for the Prescott area is McDonalds (yes, that McDonald's, clown and all). What the heck is wrong with the good folks at Google?!?

Wasn't there a line in that movie "Time After Time" where Malcolm McDowell, playing H.G. Wells pursuing David Warner as Jack the Ripper across time and into the present day, expresses his desire to eat at a McDonalds by saying that he wants to eat at "...that Scottish place." ?

Reminds me of the time that I had a phone number one digit off from the local parish house.... used to get some interesting calls!
But Ron - That had to hurt - How many orders did you take? Could you really keep your sense of humour?

Be it known that I follow that true Irish genealogical set of Rules.
I use my middle name,
I had the Nickname "Charlie" applied to me without permission.
First name George:
Watch out for that tree - now making a comeback -OUCH.
Name of a T.V. celebrity - dog.
Something about pudding and pie.
Middle name Steven: occasionally misspelled to Stephen.
Last name of Brown:
Same spelling as the color of dog stuff in the streets
See above nickname applied from a comic strip character.
Did own a sweater with horizontal zig-zag stripe - for a VERY short time. Thanks Grandma.
Had a telephone listed while in the D.C. area during the Viet-Nam Conflict as George S Brown. Lots of hate calls. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was Air Force General George S. Brown who had a non-published number. Lucky him - not so lucky me. Telephone trace was installed back then courtesy of F.B.I. Hate calls reduced by Federal Officials calling back... sort of - as in person......
