white range rovers

Went for a quick walk this afternoon after finishing my Report Card writing and marking ready for a return to work on Wednesday. It's going to take a while to get everyone back on track after the extensive snow we had in Alford. Let's hope we get through the syllabus ...

The weather was very grey and was not conducive to great photos (with my skill anyway). However, it was good to move my legs again after a couple of weeks of inactivity. The only exercise I've had recently has been lifting my right arm (which contained a glass of alcohol, for those of you with a dirty mind).

Which brings me to the interview in Scotland on Sunday with Calum Mackinnon. Calum has just opened a bar in Aberdeen called Amicus Apple. Calum thinks he has spotted a gap in the market for a branch of Amicus Apple and having read his thoughts I am confident I will never enter his bar.

He describes his friends like this:

"All my friends work for big oil companies and drive white Range Rovers. They like to spend and being seen to spend".

This is how he describes Aberdeen:

"It's a beautiful place, you can do a bit of surfing, the Trump development is going to be so great for the city."

This was the final straw. I can just imagine his bar: businessmen with posh shirts and cars talking very loudly about their last bonus. Ladies with orange skin who don't know the meaning of "subtle" on the lookout for a rich partner. Bar prices you need a mortgage for. Bouncers on the door giving you a warm welcome.

Me - I'll be drinking in the Grill Bar where at least the punters are real and the beer is well kept.

End of rant ...
