Dumfries? Agreed, it's improved considerably with a by-pass (and would with a bigger earthquake)!! Moffat's in a lovely setting, though a smidge twee - it probably hasn't changed much since you holidayed there. We're in Galloway though. We have to touch the forelock to our brothers in the East. It's a well known fact that in our county, gravity pulls from the west to the east, especially where council services are concerned :-(
Could be bad for Edinburgh if the Hogmanay celebrations have to be canned again. Have a good one yourself, and of course, to all other BNH-ers.
SDX - suggested that to our share club soon after its launch, but it wasn't taken. The one I regret missing was PFC - it's a cracker. The share club made good money but got stopped out in May. I was waiting for a couple of pence more fall to get in at 250p. Then it jumped 30p and hasn't looked back.
