GUEST,macca BS: Celtic melancholy (84* d) RE: BS: Celtic melancholy 08 May 02

Hey Hrothgar, re Johnson's high road to England. Back in seventy-three when I was working in Scotland and applied for promotion, I was told that company policy meant I would have to go to another branch then be transferred back in a new position. Almost thought this was fair enough, till they said I would probably have to go to Huddersfield. I immediately jumped on the trusty old high horse and said that I'd never go as far as England just for promotion over my fellow downtrodden man. So I emigrated and ended up here in Orstrilia........ How are the high and mighty fallen. No wonder I'm melancholic.

Oh and PS, I believe it was Johnson who said that oats were fed to the horses in England and the man in SCotland, and Boswell (is that right ?) responded with, "where would you find such horses... and such men"
