    There was this Ugandan who visited Britain (BBC Radio 4) as a tourist. He hired a car and went travelling. On the North Circular, he noticed the sign 'North M25'. Then he got to Watford, again a sign that said 'North' and then Birmingham and then Manchester... and so it went on.
    So he sat down and looked at a map of the UK and measured it to find exactly where this 'North' started.
    He discovered that the mid point was Cairnryan (7 miles North of where I am now).
    So i'm actually in the South.

    I quite like the sound of that - hire a car and just follow a random road sign sign.

    Only problem is that if you end up in England it'll be in a dump full of munters and doggers, so overall a bit of a disappointment.

    Get a ferry to Ireland and then one back to Scotland. You can pop in and wield a paintbrush at PPP and do the recruiting for unemployed podium girls in the evening.
