Tell me about it, my mother was born in Scotland, Glasgow, and her father, my Grandfather, was a tough old bastard who fought in WW1 when he was only 16, who was ultra nationalistic who hated the fact that the Pakistanis or “Pakis” were coming into the country. Today he would go absolutely nuts if he saw what the hell was going on.

He died in 1983, and I still have his pipes. He played bagpipes in the Queens own Cameron Highlanders as a pipe Major, they would literally blow up the bagpipes and scream them out while going into battle, try to envision that scenario. John Lumsden was his name. He use to mock me when I was a teen “When I was your age I was dodging bullets” ha ha. I still got all his medals, his pipes and even his shaving blade. And if that ain’t crazy enough, even the handmade reeds that he used for the pipes, some not even finished, 100 years old!

My mom who is 77 this year can’t listen to pipes because she breaks down, and I have to admit I do to...........

If Scotland wants independence why the hell did they vote against Brexit??? I DO NOT understand why anyone would WANT to stay in EU only to support the countries that collect over burdensome benefits, France, Greece, I just don’t get it!!!!
