Tourists when they enter a place: Clearly the whole economy is based on Tourism :)

I loved Princess peach in the Mario movie.

It exists. It’s called Lead Poisoning. /hj

He was a civil servant (aka, he worked for the Government directly in one of their departments), so she could do that. He has had an interesting life, he…

• Has met Gorbachev.
• Has been inside a Nuclear Reactor.
• Watched someone use a sledgehammer to push down a stuck nuclear control rod (made him not trust Nuclear Power seeing that).
• Has made maps that have been in (and still are in one, which is now a Museum).
• Once revealed that upper management wasn’t doing their jobs with a prank.
• Will randomly point at things during drives and say “See that, that doesn’t officially exist”.
• Has signed the Official Secrets act.
• Has driven a car halfway up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).
• Photographed the aftermath of an electrocution at a substation.
• Watched the Scotland Secretary nearly send a message about Margaret Thatcher being a bitch to all the major papers.
• Learnt First Aid, specially in case the UK got Nuked.
• Has photographed the Queen multiple times.
• Has photographed Jimmy Savile (yeah).
• Has made me more or less distrustful of the government because he’s seen it from the inside.

I mean he’s Mancunian, but he has lived here longer than he has Down South and supports Scottish Independence.

You would be very surprised what people believe about my country.

So he was a civil servant (nothing big, photographer and graphic design dept, some of his maps are in a preserved nuclear bunker in Fife) and one day the nurses went on strike and he (despite not being a nurse) walked out in solidarity. He was dragged in front of his boss who told him he was now banned from any official honours, meaning he couldn’t become a Knight, get an OBE, CBE, MBE, get a George Cross or become a Lord.

Scottish person here, no we do not.

This is a well-known scam that perpetrates a myth that you can become a lord or lady by owning land in Scotland. There is not, and never was a law saying that. If that was the case, my parents would be a lord and lady because we own land in Scotland (my house). In reality, my dad is banned from any official honours. No seriously. Its pretty based.

The firm running the scam claims the money goes to reforesting schemes in the highlands. It does not. If you want to contribute to reforesting in the highlands, look up the national trust for Scotland or the Scottish wildlife trust.

The title of lord is not one that you can buy by getting land in Scotland, it is the British equivalent of senator. I want you to imagine if someone claims that if you a square metre of land in Alaska. You can call yourself a senator.
