At least I don't have to worry about meeting the people I grew up with, I'm safe on the south coast of England from the Isle of Lewisians. I've probably jinxed myself now and bump into someone. I did run into someone from Isle of Lewis in Venice once! I wonder if they will dare still call me a sassenach though. My daughter knows karate so I'm safe.
Hehe, I still think thats funny they called you a sassenach. Such an old fashioned term! You are safely quite far though. Splendidly so!
Imagine bumping into someone from there in Venice. I bet you both nodded and said small world!
They are at least 10 years behind the rest of UK. At least they were when I lived there a wee while ago.
I would go for 25 years behind. I went up there a few years ago to meet a friend who was staying there.
