They look a bit top drawer to me Hilary. I'll be looking at Mr's McPorridge's Cockroach Inn; 10 bob with army blanket, 6 bob without.

I'll definitely be sleeping in the car!!

That's bit cockroachist innit?

I've nothing against cockroaches. The only guaranteed survivors of a nuclear holocaust. Not that I'm planning on setting off a thermonuclear device, whilst touring Scotland in a Citroen BX!!

Well I suppose I could fabricate a small yield device, between now and the 22nd of June. I can also do thermonuclear devices in various colours. A green mushroom cloud is truly something to behold!!

Are you not passing Dounreay on your jaunt, I believe they are looking to move some plutonium away this year as part of their decommissioning? Two BX's each containing just over half the critical mass - high speed head-on impact & voila!

Looks like I'm sticking with camping after all. Definitely sites with showers *at least* every other day please!

Scotland is expensive we went for the cheapest we could find...

Eeek! yes I think camping may have to make do unless I can find something on "late rooms" before the off.

That's where we found almost all of ours...

Personally, I blame the American and Japanese tourists!! See, I've been telling everyone to stock up on Irn- Bru 'coz it's cheaper this side of the border and no one believes me!!

Dunno about nuclear devices but if my tablets play up I could definately fumigate the place for you!

By "tablets playing up", I presume you don't mean connectivity issues with your iPad?!!
