Used to be a ferry to there from Scrabster once a week, now you have to go to Denmark first... You can also go on to Iceland and potentially Greenland. Just a pity there isn't a ferry ftom there to St John's...  ;)

When I was at school 'careers officers' were still talking about seizing the 'opportunity' of a career in coal mining.

Hmmm.....I think they got that one wrong.

We all got told to join the Navy, Marines, Army or RAF, pretty much in that order, but to be fair with no big industry or business round here it probably wasn't bad advise.  ::)

Needless to say I didn't take any notice!  ;D

I seemed to spend most of my time at school being slippered, caned, or finally expelled.

They didn't ask me to be a prefect. :-X
