I had that Scotlandwell number half dialled but realised I can't afford to build a house on top of that price so would have to live in one of the polytunnels ::) 

Ah well, still hoping for 20-50 acres pasture/rough grazing in the Trossachs without the planning ::)

#300 per week from allotments is good going though!!

Phone them up and ask what they meant about the comic singers!! ;D
Is it a quote from a film or something??

It used to be that Glasgow was the home of comic singers, although they may be more widespread now. ;)
