I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.
Yup. I was working in Detroit a few years ago and caught a nasty cold. The rigmarole I had to go through to be sold an all-in-one cold remedy at the pharmacy was unbelievable. Obviously, not being American, I failed the first hurdle of not having a National Insurance Number and the second by...- timelord

I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.
I spent a lot of time in Switzerland in the early 2000's. After a couple of shootings they changed to regulations regarding military weapons. Prior to this, all Swiss in the army (essentially everyone over 18 and under ?? as the army is part time) had to keep their weapon and ammunition at...- timelord

Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?
I'm Irish with some Scots ancestry; nope, not wearing a kilt and definitely not a gold Irish one... When my niece married a guy from Glasgow about half the male guests were wearing kilts (wedding was in Suffolk, England) much to the amusement of the locals. A year later they went to a friends...- timelord

Mindless Vandalism as Hadrian's Wall!
No one's moved the wall; it's never been the border between England and Scotland. It marked the end of Roman territory; well, until they built the Antonine Wall (which is entirely in Scotland)- timelord

Mindless Vandalism as Hadrian's Wall!
By the way, at the point where the tree was, Hadrian's Wall is 25miles or so south of the Scottish border and separated by the Kielder Forest; you wouldn't be able to see into Scotland from the top of that tree. In Roman times the actual border was even further to the North.- timelord

Mindless Vandalism as Hadrian's Wall!
The tree was on the Northumberland side; that's the English side. That tree was only 300 years old; Sycamore trees were introduced to Britain in the 15th or 16th Centuries; long after the Romans had left. As for being a hero in Scotland; all of the Scots I know would be appalled at this...- timelord
