I don't know. They're just called pipers up here. My Dad and brother were very good pipers.
It's a bit like saying horse riding instead of just riding.

Poster 1. Ferries! Ferries, ferries, ferries! What about the ferries?

The ferries are linked to the prop/photo that Douglas Ross waved around and so are part of the wider discussion. Therefore can be included?

Why do you feel the need to restrict the discussion?

Even more whataboutery.
Poster 1. I’ve just posted a fact, correctly referenced and using the right GN ^^.
Poster 2. Yes, but it’s the wrong fact. You found it in the wrong place and I disagree with it. I’ve got a much better one.

Why were there flags?

ronib Wed 03-May-23 17:38:21

Callistemon21 flags for the coronation do you think?
