Yes, I'm sure some will already have been wondering why I have started a topic on a thoroughly 21st century device in the Olde Inverness section?

Well I was listening to a discussion on these on Radio Scotland earlier, where it emerged that motorists in places like China and Russia instal them so as not to be blamed when random pedestrians jump on car bonnets in an attempt to get insurance money.

And I couldn't help but remember the legendary Inverness stories about Granville giving up jumping on sheep for the odd afternoon, instead to turn his attention to car bonnets in the town centre! I wonder if IHE remembers whether Toich did similar, or was he too engrossed in lamp posts? I would imagine Willie Bell would have had to check his AA book first, just to make sure that he only jumped on vehicles with English number plates.

Is it really appropriate to start a thread with the sole purpose of ridiculing those afflicted by mental health problems even if they are long since deceased ?

 

The producers of GTWB Enterprises will be devastated to read that implied censure:sad:

Forums really are a lot less fun in this era of the Politically Correct and the Serially Offended!

It could be argued these days whether Granville or Uilleam were formally mentally ill. Sexual deviancy and Mixed Personality Disorder have moved on to the peripheraires. Anyway enough talking about CB and Kingsmills. Anyway in the 60's and the 70's we had the backhander and the pay-off technology and, of course, etch a sketch.
