Thanks for the advice Allen! Mavis Grind redders take heed........look oot your wirsit draaers ower da weekend. Wirsit draaers (pronounced wirrrsit drrraaers - remember us Shetlanders roll wir rrrs!) are the Shetland words for "woollen pants". I always think the sound of these words in the shetland language is so descriptive and sounds like something that would keep you warm on a cold day. Woollen pants just sounds so feeble!  |

Never work before breakfast. If you do have to work before breakfast, eat your breakfast first.
