Hello, I'm from Clackmannan too, it's the water in Clackmannanshire, it makes you say strange things, especialy when I dilute it with Whiskey!!!!!

Hello, how are you.  When did you decide to move so far North.  What part of the country are you in?

That is so sad.  I have heard that before and also friends say they never give the breed of their dogs, just say they are mongrels in case they get stolen.  I wish you more luck and happiness in your new home and hope you can get the house with central heating - you'll need it up there!!!

Hi and welcome.  Wish your lad the best of luck with his pig, although it would be better if he has 2.
