Well, Duncan, it's the way it WAS in the 1960s when I was there. Thanks, Bazza.As I thought when you won a lot and I won a little, thes things are all in the lap of the gods, which is why I like them.

Congratulations, John. A fine poem. I spent just two days in Edinburgh a million years ago when I was a student for a year at St. Andrews and I went down because my parents were visiting. I wish I had taken the opportunity to spend more time there, but generally when I headed out of St. Andrews it was to check out points north.

I'd die to use "bird beshat" in anything. Stunner, John. I passed though the place around '65. Loved it. Youth hostels, $5 a day. Saw an ambitious high school production of of Dr. Faustus. And to keep up with the pale flesh studs, took my shirt off in 60 degree weather.

I lived in Edinburgh (Saxe-Coburg Place, believe it or not) for about 18 months in the mid-60s when I was on the run. Very like.
