what do you expect?

[Jock Scot]

I have read and re-read your replies.Thankyou for your compliments and one or two thought provoking comments.On the whole I think your answers were about what I had expected.If it is of any consolation to you,I have spent a whole lifetime,far too many years to count,in the UK in general and Scotland in particular and I still have not seen it all.Goodness only knows how you chaps from vast countries have time to visit our little bit of the world,when you have so much to see at home.Keep coming though,we are delighted to welcome you all.
