"Jeez, he's coming by plane fro south Wales, he's bound to buy it". He is Glaswegian though.... South Lanarkshire isn't Edinburger.... it's East Lothian. I reckon he's meeting him in Edinburgh so that there are less witnesses who know him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
