Ahahaah!:laugh:,
Dodgy accents indeed!:tinysmile_tongue_t:
As for Braveheart,it was a pleasure not to be greeted by blue woad wearing madmen!!:eek:
Seriously though,it was great day and was just what i needed after my recent bad times.
Only a couple of hours away,but we got stuck at passport control for a while as the border patrol couldnt suss out why a lancashire lad was with a yorkshire fella and they weren`t at each others throats!;)
Was a pleasure to meet Archie and the lovely Dawn.We were well looked after with a nice hot meal and several brews.
A few great deals were done and i must also mention that we met a pal from MCF forums(Bil44),hopefully he will join our merry band soon?
Archies hairy looking cat and his huge dog also gave us a welcome too!
Thanks guys for a great day out.I shall forward Tigbrands latest goody box shortly.

cheers and best

Yes,I would like to thank Archie and his lovely missus again for a great day out.:tinysmile_shy_t:
Myself and the Mickmeister got looked after all day and we did a lot of trading as well.His good lady fed us up on my favourite which are haggis and square scots sausages!:tinysmile_grin_t:
Ive just got back in as after the trip i nipped up to my dads to wish him happy birthday and im now knackered!
No time yet to root through the great stuff i got from Archies today,but im very happy with the trade.Archies now got new toys to play with as well!

Thanks again guys for being top hosts for the day.

cheers and best regards

waff
