Indeed! Are you in the habit of picking up younger men?
PS Did you like my photie of Carlisle Station???
I did. I love railway stations and Carlisle is an excellent example. Very Ultravox.
Obviously I have spent many an hour freezing my socks off on the platforms at Carlisle station. My worst memory is of having flu just before Xmas 1980 and standing on Platform one beside a brazier trying to keep warm because it was snowing outside. Could you imagine them lighting braziers at the Waverley? In fact, they're probably not allowed to do it at Carlisle any more either
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

I had one for my breakfast this morning
(we call them butteries though)
Was doing a desultory tidy up (i.e. moving things about) and came across a freebie book from the Scotsman about Food Of Scotland. Spooookily I opened at the page entitled 'Aberdeen Rowies'
It says that "A rowie, or roll, is how they are commonly called in Aberdeen. The term butterie is odd since they are not made of butter. The name seems to be have given to them by non-Aberdonians, aware that they are fatty but not realising that the fat used is not butter".

Ah well, I suppose I am a non-Aberdonian, I am an Aberdeenshireonian
and we know what we are talking about
