Tambo wants to know why the Scots don't have an August bank holiday, pal? xx

[SpikeyBush]

In Northern Ireland we have two in July then that's it until xmas. 12th July for the marches and 13th July to clear up all the broken bottles and burnt out cars. Some government agencies take the last Monday in August but those who do the real work don't.

I want the black & white tartan ?

[shoota]

'I don't get it.'

Perhaps Cupes can help you out....

[cupid04]

How did this post go so off beam...lol!

[Wharton]

Oh shoota lad, are you for it when cupid04 reads that. That's not a rhetorical question by the way, or is it?

[Wharton]

Tambo - You can have any tartan you wish. I wouldn't recommend black and white however, it's associated with the Glesga Polis (Sillitoe) :-)

[tamborine]

English please, warty....wot does that mean?

[Wharton]

Tambo - It would take me forever to explain but if you 'Google' Sir Percy Sillitoe you should get the idea.

[tamborine]

Thats a perfect ploy for me..

[Wharton]

Embra to the ploy? Wait till the festival has passed Tambo :-)

[tamborine]
