|

Kilt wearers could face prosecution if they do not have a licence for their sporran under new legislation which has been introduced in Scotland.
The laws are designed to protect endangered species like badgers and otters, whose fur used to be favoured by sporran makers.

Who is going to inspect and seize unlicenced sporrans? That would be one of the world's worst jobs. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

If the badger has already been made into a sporran, its probably too late to save it! _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

I wonder what Ken Bruce thinks of this? A potential topic for his 'Spin It To Win It' competition tomorrow perhaps? _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |
