Well I hope come election time that her constituents show her 'that these boots were made for walking'.


William? with apologies to all those who love Yorkshire (Ido and had a yorkshire gmother) to mind came the saying 'yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred, strong in the shoulder and thick in the head'.

These are two good examples of the nincompoops who reign in the Palace of Westminster.

Now those both made me chuckle a lot, OFITG. Wonder which of six nations Hague supports in rugby. Probably seventh - Yorkshire :-S :-D :-D

:-S Helen Goodman the Labour MP for Bishop Auckland, was opening the Village Fayre and Classic Vehicle Show in the village of Ingleton located in her constituency in County Durham - she described the village as being famous for its beautiful waterfalls and deep caves, embarrassingly she was talking about a village with the same name 70 miles away in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire :-D

:-S William Hague has said that "Team GB" will deliver another spectacular performance at the Commonwealth Games, he did not appear to know that there is no Team GB competing in the Commonwealth games - England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, each have their own team, and are competing as separate nations :-D

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"
