I'm just as equal and I'm not even a Major.
But I do have a 65 piece band.
Does that make me more equal than some?
or am I as equal as others?
Albeit, I feel I'm just as equal as everyone.
It doesn't matter, we are all equal as each other as
we are all part of the RMB brotherhood (sisterhood, for the girls)
Sorry that should all read RMB personhood.

Jim, you only need to pass your B2's to have your own band.
There is no discrimination on that front.

..Oops I've been rumbled...

Actually Pat, the people who pick the fruit nowadays are the same people who do all the plumbing and building site jobs, not to mention most of the catering jobs throughout our glorious country....Eastern Europeans...

The difference is, I pay mine a decent rate.....mate..

Ahaaaah....Excellent observation Bob...They've all got P.O.S.B. Books.
I march them down to the P.O. at the end of the season, to the marching chant:

"Down the Glen march Thomson's men,
Their shovels held like Lancers,
Some of them are true fine men,
The rest are ...kin chancers".....

Ahh!!!

Marching and singing......

I take it you give English??? lessons as well........or was it to Gaelic words?

You liberal minded Scottish Laird's are all the same.
They'll be wanting housing, next.


Keep the peasants down, is what I say, keep them down!!!!!!

Give them 'gruel' and let them be thankful for living in a free democratic (sic) country.
