It wasn't in my nature to suggest you were all raging alcoholics north of Carlisle :wink:

I was serving with a guy from Motherwell and we stopped off at his house on our way back from training in the highlands and in those days I did drink a little :neutral: imagine my suprise to find that pubs didn't open on Sunday :shock:
