Born and raised in MA by the NH border. I used to work for a small company out of Croftamie, Scotland. It was a very nice area to have visited while I was going through training. How long have you been in the States?

So, Al, instead of typing this, I could plop it into a bottle and toss it into the White River (1km upstream from the Ct at White River Junction) and it would get to you?

there is just one thing wrong with the U.K. and thats TAXES,TAXES and more TAXES.i love Scotland but the cost of living is far too high take gas or petrol ,my aunt used to heat one room in her flat because it was too expensive to leave the door open and heat the entire flat.now petrol thats another matter,96p per litre people in Ct complain about $1.75 a gallon. and i'm not a big fan of the E.U.does Gordon Brown sit in an ivory tower thinking up new ways to rob people.oh well i'm done ranting.

Who'd have thought that towns in an area settled by former former English subjects would be named after towns in England? AJ,
