Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 2,790 Send Message	Oh gawd You've brought back memories.......... of being forced to watch The White Heather Club! Mother loved it, brother and I sat on the floor making faces at each other :-( Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low......... who wrote that? One of Jimmy Shand's band members (if my memory is right, the double bass player) is a distant cousin.......... a claim to fame? :-D

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 2,790 Send Message	lolol Border I remember Duncan McCrae and the wee cock sparra - awful! Most of the tv shows we were "forced" to watch were cringeworthy :-( Who remembers "Francie & Josie"? Watched it once, brother & I laughing like mad, we weren't allowed to watch it again, Mother thought they were terrible (verrrrry low-class) lolol
