Scotland (city of Glasgow in particular) has a history of knife violence so they brought out this bullshit stop and search policy (terrorism act or something). people only get arrested for carrying IF they don't have a reasonable excuse... like if I'm going fishing, carrying a knife is normal. going clothes shopping, I would likely not need a hunting knife so it *could* be considered a weapon. but in general, stuff like that doesn't really go on. And in Scotland, we're a bit different from the English (most american references to "brits" are english)
I assume the media likes to sensationalise it so you guys think we can't buy an egg whisk without a psychiatric evaluation... just like the media here would have us believe that shooting up schools is a right of passage over there.
but like I say, we shoot, we fish, and have plenty of screwdrivers and potato peelers... our big difference in terms of shooting is, you guys can buy a firearm purely cause it's your right... we can only buy one if we can prove we take part in a shooting activity (home defense isn't a valid reason... and I'll wholly admit that you guys 234897% win on that one)
anyway's enough about our cultural differences and more about trucks
but this might give you a laugh anyway (and it would make me laugh if it didn't apply to me) - Scotland (and soon to be UK wide) brought in a licensing system for air rifles and pistols. and it cost the equivalent of $110 to apply for it. same price as applying for shotgun or rifle!
cheers Jim! when you stay in a place with shite weather like here, you gotta learn to laugh at it! genuinely, 10 degrees is beach weather here in spring (you guys work in degrees F? so maybe about 55-ish?) we don't tan well either... we kinda just burn when/if the sun comes out
that said, it's actually sunny today and I'm going out to look at a new boat with the intention of buying! catch y'all later
and for the record, my skirt and pipes are in great working order
