What a great Idea !!!

Now I was reading in the local paper about how the local Co-Op shop (supermarket) had a problem with Neds (Non Educated delinquent) making there home outside the shop basically making pests of themselves (this is I believe a world wide problem).

The Co-Ops solution was not to hire security guards but to install loudspeakers outside and play classical music whenever they appeared !

Result within days no more Neds

What today is like

Update

Just an update nothing major to report. We are experiencing a bit of a cold snap. The wind is coming in from Siberia but the direction is predicted to change next week - it will be coming from the the Arctic instead !!! Oh yeah

We are bunkering down for snow again.

Been asked to say a hello to Alex from Elle

Valentines Day

Well went away for valentines day to a little village called Inverary on the way there I spotted some examples of sport taken to extremes. Firstly you need to know that the days top temp was 4c (that's not counting the wind chill factor from the 60mph winds coming from the Arctic), so seeing people running round smacking little balls into little holes in the ground was quite amusing, OK thats barely understandble but when we drove by the loch shore and saw people preparing to go scuba diving in sub zero weather ! I thought they were nuts but the winner by far was this gentleman

who had just been in for a quick dip !!!!!!!!!

Ok enough about mad Scotsmen we had a great hotel room (here's the view from our window)



Thought I would give you a view without the window glare



So after stay made our way back to Glasgow on the way we stopped at a run down church in Loch Awe and saw the this




By the way we have had snow again

Wee little Trip

Well the Scottish weather gods where very kind and we decided to do a little sight seeing and what was the first thing we find the Scottish knock off of the opera house





you would think they could be a little original
There Opera house (known as the "armadillo" is on the Clyde so cant really compete with Sydney harbor but is quite picturesque


We next went on a little drive towards the highlands and stopped off at Glen Falloch which receives 3 meters of rain per annum (no surprise if you live here)

This place is also known as Rob Roys Bathtub
The scenery here is amazing as the next photo shows


Thanks everyone for the emails and comments and having said that I will try to answer questions asked
1st The sandwich bags are from Lakeland plastics and cost five pound for two (they are reusable)
Two you need a wide toaster to use them
Three I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DON'T MELT !!!!!
Four If the cheese melts into the bag you just wash it (it usually doesn't though)

Saddest(Pathetic) post in blogging history

As I said I believe this may be the saddest post ever done

I have spoken about toasty sandwich bags before but apparently I failed to explain how the process works clearly enough so here in pictures is a toasted sandwich made in the toaster













And no I don't know why the bag doesn't melt
