I can go along wi that, being Ayr born and bred.

Good luck with the sale.

Cheers,

I can’t believe the price!!

Is that really what two bed flats go for up there?

Christ,, I wish I could afford another £1.00 a week!! Xx

 

[Ivory55]

Do have to be Celtic or Rangers to live there.

 

[Bonkers the Dog]

Green or blue? Most dont' care. The rivalry things' more of a myth now perpetuated by a withered few, lost its relevance years ago. I prefer Rugby, more of a mans sport and less prima donnas.

Yup, that's the price! And it on the good side of town as well. If I don't sell it by june I will get another tenant, but I would prefer to punt it on...

Yes indeed, now ask yourself who has got life easier?
Free prescriptions, GP much easier to see usually the same day, getting a dentist is a lot easier even for NHS dentists, we get more money per skull from the public purse, we don't get ripped off for parking, roads are practically deserted, wild camping is largely a doddle with beautiful scenery & as applies to a lot of funsters, divorce is correspondingly cheap & relatively painless.

Downsides, weather not so good oh & midges, seems like a fair deal to me.

Good luck with the sale, I tried on here with our bungalow in Dunoon.

 

[Bonkers the Dog]

Ahh..Dunoon, Dunoon, a bonny wee toon. My family used to have a Hotel over there many years ago. It's where I learned to dive. Small world so it is.

 

[TinaLes]

The Girdle Toll was where my brother was born & I was conceived
Then my father got a job with BEA down here at Heathrow, been living down here ever since. I know the area well as I have family living all over that area.
I miss Troon the most, as my Granny had a wee bolt hole second home, nearly on the beach, many great memories of going there as a Kid and much later also.
Good luck with the sale.
Les

It was a rental come investment,only took us 10 months to sell it.
Had a holiday house there since I was born, so know the place quite well. What hotel was it ?

Ayrshire coast, my childhood youth and young adult haunt.
Was going to say can someone tell me why I left, but remembered in time.

Strange how when other Scots say they are hard done by yet your painting a rosey picture.

Does make me wonder how the SNP got so many votes

I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm doing ok lol.
Help me try to be happy, please, pretty please.

However, I do vote SNP, I don't want independence, I'm just picking the best of a very bad bunch & SNP do stand up for Scottish issue's.

Me thinks our English neighbours would do the same thing if presented by similar issues.
Our local newly built hospital was about to have A&E closed down with Labour & Tories agreeing to close it, despite us paramedics telling them that we couldn't cope with the many many extra miles that critically ill patients would be forced to endure.
They even uninvented "The Golden Hour" claiming that it didn't exist.
Then SNP promised to keep these critical care hospitals open if voted in, I was a lifelong true blue Tory & given the choice I would be again, but my head was turned by necessity, couple that to free prescriptions etc & it was job done.
So an awful lot of SNP voters do not want independence as proven by the "Indyref" vote & one hell of a lot of people do not like Sturgeon.

Oh & there the fabled "Deep Fried Mars Bar" (never seen one, dunno anyone who has) that's gotta be a good enough reason to live in Scotland, right?

My English wife (Bucks) loves it up here, I wasn't entirely sure why until we recently visited her brother in the Thames Valley, I was staggered at the weight of traffic during rush hour & the roads were busier on sunday afternoon that we ever see here.

@ambulancekidd as you know I was only pulling your chain half heartedly

Of course your good lady likes it up there because you’re there

The thing with free prescriptions and the like is other areas get missed.
I’ve seen reports of some deadly poor housing along with other issues.

I still like Scotland though

No probs mate, I didn't intend to write a speech, I should have added to my op that I was saying everything tongue in cheek.
Scotland is always very welcoming of our visitors & you'd be welcome anytime.

You having a laugh! I wish I could agree but...Bigotry is very much alive. Just look at the voting in Catholic/Protestant areas...Does that not tell you something? Me personally ..I couldn't give a s**t about religion in what area I should live, how I should vote etc etc.

We had a couple of weeks up in your fine Country last year after my hernia op.

The only issue I had was the dickhead visitors not knowing how single track roads work

Not at all, whilst I know, both professionally and personally, that it is an issue in some areas, for instance selected parts of Ayrshire, some parts of Glasgow and Lanarkshire, on the whole, generally in Scotland, most people just don't care. For sure there is a vociferous minority that plug into the orange order/green brigade bigotry and paranoia but their bark is worse than their bite; they will fade in time as people ignore them and they fade into obscurity.

But I do tend to agree, F**k 'em and their religious prejudice, their funny sashes, silly songs and skewed view of history. They are both an increasing irrelevance. Like you, and most educated people, I will think and do as I please, where I like and with whom I like. It is a bonus that religion is playing les and less a part in daily life as the rational, logical and educated masses recognise it for the nonsense that it is.

Football is going the same way. Less relevant to increasing numbers of people as they to realise that it is a game sullied by brain dead halfwits and played by over-payed prima donnas with no connection to the communities they are supposed to represent.

Combine the two, mix liberally and we see the waning of both and it's not a moment too soon.

A case in point - I have a wide selection of friends and colleagues right across Scotland from all social strata, both male and female; very few of them are serious football fans and non are religious! Perhaps not a perfect empirical sampling but it serves to illustrate.
