It was the Scotland/Wales rugby International weekend in Edinburgh and as the crowds made their way down Princes Street towards Murrayfield, a Rottweiler suddenly lunged towards a wee eight year old Scottish lassie, with its jaws wide open ready to attack. The crowd nearby gasped in horror but, quick as a flash, a man in red jumped out of the crowd, grabbed the dog by the throat and throttled it.As the dead dog lay there, and the crowd cheered in admiration,

a journalist from the Glasgow Herald who had witnessed the heroic deed, went up to the man and said, 'That was brilliant, I can see the headline now - 'Welsh Rugby Fan Saves Young Girl From Certain Death'.

The man replied, 'No you've got it wrong. I'm not here for the rugby!''

Don't worry' said the journalist, 'I can see the headline now ?'Welshman Saves Girl From Jaws Of Rottweiler'.The man replied, 'No you're wrong again. I'm not Welsh; I'm from London.'

The journalist said, 'Don't worry; I can see the headline now ?

'English B*****d Strangles Family Pet'...

Love it :-D :-D :-D

I'm a Scot born and bred, the only Englishmen that I don't like sit round a big table in a side street of Whitehall ;-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"
