traveling to SCOTLAND

Scotty: I wish I could document this exchange. I'm sure that every other person who's ever heard this story thought I made it up. I get accused of embellishing for effect and although I'm guilty of doing reality very few favors, this proves that at least one of my stories is absolutely true.

Sometime I''ll have to recount the time I got drunk at the Hobgoblin Pub (exclusive purveyers of Wychwood Breweries) in Salisbury. Mixing beer and cider can drive people to madness...

Randy you and I are quite alike in many ways i can identify getting drunk cause i got caught out one night with champagne and a couple too many Fat bastards! ( fat bastards being the Red Wino) couldn't be the ladies cause im the fattest ******* in town!( my town is small)

Not a Scotland story, but I needed to purchase alcohol at the wrong time of day. We had just stepped of the train in Chester and needed to find our lodgings (an ancient half-timbered farmhouse). We realized we were running dangerously low on scotch, so I was dispatched to the off-license across the road. The woman behind the counter informed me that she couldn't sell at that time of day. As I turned dejectedly to put the bottle back on the shelf, I heard the shopkeeper shout, "It's okay dear. No harm. He's not from 'round here, so our laws don't apply!". Score!

Thanks for the tips.

Being a pesco-vegetarian, I'll be steering clear of haggis.

Suppose I'll be renting a car for the week. It's a right-hand drive country, no?
