Boris and Cambridge Analytica

Oh me too - I feel utterly fed up and dragged down by the whole thing. I don’t remember politics ever being such an integral part of our lives or so divisive - or maybe it was and I just didn’t notice so much I blame social media - everyone seems to be so angry all the time

No I am enjoying this more.......life’s to short. I am finding myself less interested in politics by the day!!!!

Can you imagine?! I’d definitely move there too! Their profits would sky rocket with everyone signing up for loans after one too many gins and in years to come it will be known as the GGI (great gin insurance) scandal with banks having to repay missold policies ?????????

Shall we return to CA and big data?

If the Bank of Scotland serves drinks, I am going to change who I bank with pronto ??????

Not to you MaizieD ( obviously.)

Does The Bank Of Scotland serve drinks now SirC ?
What a wonderful idea, hope it catches on here( I was just going to get some cash out, but am happy to stay for a rhubarb gin.)??

In your opinion, you know.

It’s much more interesting though.

It really, really isn't, you know.

not a scouser then SirC? lol

How did we get from CA to this?! It’s much more interesting though.

Ahh, but it’s not a lake because we don’t call lochs lakes up here, just as you don’t call your lakes lochs. Took me a while to get used to it when I moved up here and learning how to say the och bit rather than ock

See you at the Bank then - and remember to take your haggis spray with you and have a rhubarb and ginger gin waiting for me please!

Where the heck is Loch Lomand?

Been to the Trossachs and it is indeed a beautiful place - but there is no Loch Lomand anywhere

( couldn’t find a haggis emoji, a thistle will have to do, and it looks pretty aggressive)?

Well SirC...it is a lake after all, and I did call it Loch Lomand not Lake Lomand......tell you what, I’ll take the high road (faster) you take the low road (slower but less traffic)
And we will meet in the first bonny bank we come to,( Bank of Scotland) if that suits you?
Just a warning, on the quiet low road there are herds of roaming haggis,they have young at this time of year and can be aggressive!)

I remember trailing round after a crowd of American tourists here looking for their roots and seeing the places their families had come from...it was bicentennial year .Standing on the shore of the Loch at Luss I was talking to one of them while my other half photographed groups .."I've seen your lock he said and your heather covered hills ..but what and where will I find these Bonnie Banks in the Lock Lomond Song"

Lake??

You wash your mouth out - Loch Lomond is a loch. The clue is in the name. Lake indeed <mutter mutter>

Loch Lomand is my favourite lake btw and I always take the high road there.

I have just been on the blower to the Palace, they were most helpful.......

I have always understood that “Nessie” was female, Jura but Loch Ness is a place and two words (as is the gin)

So not this then?

You can of course do all the accents (for lots of languages) on a standard iPad keyboard.
à á å ã â ä æ etc

well no - but we have those wonderful accented à, ä and è, é, ü, ö and ç - much more useful ;)

let's call him Nessie for short then Maw. Anyhow, glad you found it - great stuff, great people too.

Well you have dispensed with royalty haven’t you?
Do French keyboards really not have square brackets?

some os us furiners do not have square brackets on our keyboards either

Yep, you need Maws regal connections.?

Although works .....crown in brackets.
