Why would you move to South?

She managed to give birth twice in Dundee

Ha ha, there's my size 9 straight in it.

To still be in Scotland but get off this island

edit: Living in the Outer Hebrides has been a great experience but my kids have now left home and the affair is coming to an end (but I don't want to go back to England)

Yebbut.... if you live by the coast, 180 degrees of your world is cold saltwater. It's limiting.

Yeah but the days are warmer and sunnier and the house prices cheaper, oh and the cycling is fantastic.

Mrs M moved south when she was 17, to Inverness. She kept moving southwards. But not over the Tweed. She would like to start heading back Northwards again. I think she thinks you lot smell.

..... and speak funny?

Her father speaks funny. In both countries. We think he's a southern nobber, the southern nobbers think he's one of us.

I'm assuming she managed to circumnavigate Dundee?

My daughter is moving to Dundee (out of choice) - 4 kids now left home and the only one who's not happy is the one who took a job in England.

It's probably very nice.

Dundee is a great place*, it does seem to get a lot of bad publicity from nobbers.

*And their University was kind enough to let me study there for 6 years. And where my children were born. And where I first encountered kebabs. And the only city I was arrested in (and then escaped cos the Polis left the van door open - this was before I was actually in the Polis in Dundee)

I think out of that list that introducing me to kebabs is what I remember most fondly

I wouldn't want to commute daily from the Kent coast to Leatherhead /Epsom every day though!

It was bad enough commuting from from Sutton to Epsom (4 miles) every day for 12 years!

I have HS1 so it's a piece of cake and I do it daily.

Yeah well there are some big boats out there and we haven't quite got the Dover to Calais cycle path sorted yet.
