The thing for us Scots is even a trip to Manchester is 400 miles one way, places like London and Oxford are just no goes unfortunately.

I guess the Midlands would be just about do-able.
But....but.....but.....Travel Fund innit?!

I appreciate that Steve but I just dont have it in me to accept gestures like that , like many here mate.

I'm a stubborn old git when I want to be.

Two things;

1. I did forget.

2. I only have your birth day, not the year.

Hehe, no worries, you've had *slightly* more important things on your mind besides posting my frigging birthday.

Hope you're feeling a bit better mate.

*hugs*

Would you have to? I was looking at train fares for London - Falkirk the other week, and the singles started at Â£15. You'd probably have to buy them about 6 million years in advance, but getting there n back for Â£30 seems pretty good to me!

Definitely won't be making it over for this then, as my mum and brother will still be here visiting

It's not as bad as you think. The hardest part is getting through Scotland to a major road or train link. Buses from Glasgow to Manchester or London are as regular as midge bites on a wet summer day.

Or you can fly, or get the train.

I caught the train from Glasgow to Oxford (via Birmingham) once and it was bearable. Load up on books and portable tech to make the journey go a bit faster and get a seat with a table. Always get a table, it guarantees legroom.
