Phyl, just to make you jealous, my Scottish friend gave me some tablet this morning.
Delicious, but certainly not good for the diet, nor the cholesterol.

I remember being given the well cooked rib bones from the soup to chew on, you could gnaw them down to almost nothing! Probably very good for you but today's youngsters would probably be horrified

L.P., it's always amazing to me who thought of whatever, I mean, eg, who looked at a snail and thought, hmmm, I bet that would be tasty with a little butter and garlic! (no, I've never tried it and don't intend to

Hi JD,
We used to get the ribs from the butchers across
from your shop! was that the Co-op butchers? Who was
the barbers shop next door was it Northcotes? Keep
thinking about "old stinson", nae much left of that!
have been trying to get a photo of St. Micks around 1957-58
I was in "B" course but cannie find one, I think all my classsmates
must have disappeared.
Hope you are well
