Its actually around 22deg here and sunny today! (I recommend you get off the forum and get on with the holiday otherwise you are going to get some grief!). Enjoy and see you back in sunny Scotlland soon. The Laird also escaped yesterday. I was in Hull (a well known east coast holiday resort.)

Seems odd that both of the above attended your "Wedding event" as chauffeurs and now both need a holiday David!!

It could be that David pays big money to his chauffeurs affording them both a very comfortable lifestyle
