Can I have a 'P' please Bob - Scotland

GPP and CA have one thing in common, and it is to do with T


I should have got the last one earlier Charles. Hill of Tarvit is one of our nearest National Trust Houses, and they made quite a thing of it when they installed old style golf, which I should REALLY know about as the guy who rents what used to be my shop sells reproduction hickory clubs with amazingly diverse heads as trophies. (e.g. he has a method where heather stalks are bound together with glue, then dyed and then sliced through to make a 2mm varnished slice that goes on the face of the club. )

Just logged in briefly from Spain to say - well done!

As far as I know, the Hill of Tarvit course is the only place in the UK for Hickory Golf. We tried the croquet instead.

Ooops, should have known no curling there, but croquet. Had hoped you had logged in with an answer to mine. Hope Spain's weather is better than Scotland's.

Dr B really wreaked havoc on rural communities. A terrible man.

Well, I have been flirting with International Socialist for IS, but think you would have called it TIS and it isn't made in Scotland, though IRT may be. If I know I am definitely on the wrong track, I may be freed up to think again.
