Bloody scary buggers.

Especially when marching purposefully with rolled up sleeves to that
menacing drumbeat.

I particuarlly noticed the drum beat.

I wondered if it was the same beat that my ancestor marched to as the
Watch left the Highlands for the first time all those years ago.

Bryn

No, I reckon they'd have bought a new drum since then.

Why buy a new one when the old one is perfectly serviceable.

What is the MTBF for a traditional Scottish marching drum?


Ah'll get ma coat...

That'll be a new coat I wager (10P maximum)?

10p? Och, I thought 5p would be more in keeping with my austere outlook.
And pre-owned at that.
