Alabama, eh? You like to jump in a the deep end!!! But at least you don't have to shovel snow for half the year..... What part of Scotland are you from?

But hey, living in the Bible Belt isn't all bad.............has it's advantages, such as erm, ah, well anyway, sure it does grin

Stow, which is wee village near Galashiels, whereabouts are you from? Must say, Alabama just sooooooo not what I'm used to!! Used to laugh at all those Redneck jokes, now I'm living them!!! oooooooh, lol................the people have been very warm and welcoming, just sometimes need an interpreter for both them and me!!!

Banjoland?

The jokes just write themselves.

Hi Fee and welcome. smile

I was in Alabama for a couple of months when I first came over - in the Shoals area. Beautiful place, but quite a culture shock! Have you been to one of the infamous "All you can eat" catfish restaurants yet? If you haven't then beware - I went and suffered for a couple of days afterwards. Catfish is not all they make it out to be!!!!
