My Scottish neighbour was prosecuted for having sex with his cat.
The judge threw it out of court saying he'd never heard of a Scotsman putting anything in the kitty.
Sid certainly had the look of someone who could look after himself. Les also said he could pull those grotesque faces after having his jaw broken in a boxing match.
I agree but I never think of those pubs as being town centre although they are as near as dammit. Was thinking more of the Warwick/Montague St axis I suppose.
