Not a Clog & Tulip type of Lad Mo but if you so desire I'm sure it can arranged next time we're over (in 2 weeks). As to the Beer, not this time, but on occasion a wee one off refresher is quite acceptable alongside some Cloggie cuisine.

accrington town centre today

[Margaret Pilkington]

Ooh....boys toys. Himself went down town today. I wondered why it took him so long. He was probably drooling and reliving his youth looking at these machines.
Personally I like the purple rabbit.
