Very true Crabbit. I have posted similar views in the past, on the various hanging debates and others and know full well the futility of debating the subject with people such as your self.
 

Pardon !!!
Oh, you have come to the conclusion that I was referring to you, oh well if the cap fits,  wear it.   :

Ha ha, If it wasn't, it could have been, hence the reply.

Mike doesn't wear a cap. He weaps one of those wizard thingies that Uncle Bulgaria used to wear on The Wombles but without the tassle. I don't know what they're called.

Iv,e weaped these hats for years but never did know what their called.
I lost the first one to a gust of wind on wimbledon common and always wondered what became of it.

Since it's gone slight;y off topic, can I just just say that it's an
entertainning post script to a thread which I enjoyed thoroughly.

This is what I love about this forum, a thread can go from a subject about the release of a mass murderer to a discussion about a silly hat! Only on CBF!

The boycott of whisky and the effect on the tourist trade may or may not happen Stoop.

But would you stop going to Turkey had the Turkish Government taken the decision that Macaskill did.[?]

Probably not but then I'm not American.

Seems there are those hell bent on blaming the Scots for this when in fact it looks more and more like that great Scot Gordon Brown who is behind the release (they can still blame the Scots then )

There are already petitions to boycott Scotland and the rest of the UK but in reality it will probably only be a few who will take part. However if it does gain momentum then the Scottish tourist trade could be badly damaged by the lack of American tourists. I believe they do spend a lot in bonnie Scotland.

Heard two interviews with two different American talk radio hosts today, one said that he  only had one person wanting to talk about Lockerbie, the other has had none, both agreed that their listeners were not interested in  Lockerbie but were still very much concerned about the health debate, both stated that the Lockerbie debate was being used to draw attention away from the health issue but has not succeeded.

 I listened to Mathew Bannister today and it was quite the different to the experience of the previous poster.

I was amazed to hear that there is now a website that is trying to get people to 'boycott' Scotland and the Uk. Have a quick look.

I have just opened one of those letters and got a message that  I was infected with some virus worm thingy.

Is this possible?
