Well done Mr Murray. You are no longer a Scot....You are British! Unless of course you lose on Sunday, and then you revert back.

Pleasant conversation with my bank manager this morning. I wonder if he, or his bank, has ever been called "an incompetent thieving **** ***** (rhymes with 'wit louse'). The annoying thing is that banks can lend up to 4 times what they have on account at any one time. Therefore Barclays could lend money on the basis of my transfer for the time it took to get from the UK to my account. My Dad would turn in his grave if he heard me say this, but I wish the 2 Governments would 'Nationalise' all the banks in the UK & Spain, and whilst they are at it, they should nationalise the utilities too. Both rip off the British & Spanish people on an ongoing basis with no come-uppance whatsoever. Our Electricity here has just been increased in price by 25%. No discussion. It's pay or you'll get cut off & they'll embargo your bank account.

My number one son arrives tomorrow with his lady. He's just been elected on to his towns council. If he gives me any "Call me Councillor nonsense", I shall just remind him that I am 'The Lord Of Loch Borralan'. He's seen the paperwork so he knows its true.

He wanted to be a Bus Conducter when he grew up, until I told him that they don't get to keep all the money they collect.

Hope you have a pleasant weekend.
