Ha Ha Veterans.

Don't know the format yet but don't think its strictly tied into UK Vets only. I'll post details as and when I have them

Is that a British Legion do? As others have said, publicity here has been almost non-existent apart from a brief mention in the Scotsman a while ago. It is obviously being targeted mainly at the tourist trade. Never mind, I hope the city shows a better side to the public by then - it is an absolute disgrace at the moment. Princes Street and the Mound are barricaded off, Haymarket is a disaster area and that nice old pub there has been demolished all to make way for trams in a year or two's time. Hopefully the Royal Mile will escape all of this although there is talk of some kind of security roundabout in front of the Parliament building to protect our precious MSP's from bad guys. I'm not sure that we would miss them all the same! They are about to impose minimum prices for alcohol in Scotland so we will have to hire a van and take regular trips to Berwick or Carlisle to stock up. Who nows - maybe even the mob will move in. It did happen once before after all - shades of Al Capone et al.
