          Bedtime....
          23rd Psalm (Scots version)

          Wha' is my shepherd weel I ken
          The Lord himsel' is he:
          He leads me whaur the girse is green
          An' burnies quiet that be.

          Aft times I fain astray wad gang
          An wann'r far awa':
          He fin's me oot, he pits me richt
          An' brings me hame an' a'.

          Tho I pass through the gruesome cleuch
          Fin' I ken He is near:
          His muckle crook will me defen'
          Sae I ha'e nocht to fear.

          Ilk comfort whilk a sheep could need
          His thoghtfu' care provides:
          Tho' wolves an' dogs may prowl aboot
          In safety me He hides.

          His guidness an' his mercy baith
          Nae doot will bide wi' He -
          While fallded on the fields o' time
          Or o' eternity.

          Confusion is a natural state of being

            Yes and I'll be a lot closer than I am now, doesn't mean that they will be on my doorstep.

              Well my family comes from a mixed stock of Irish, Prussian, Austrian, Norwegian and the majority of them settled in North Wales so despite being born in England I'm not exactly prime English stock

                  You'd be even closer if moved near to Anglesey (say, North Wales perhaps?)

                    Ignoring the little englishmen like cyberbuffon

                    I'm biased obviously but I love living and working here. What I will say is the contract market is pretty small (duh) and centres around in finance anyway a handful of companies.

                    Edinburgh has always been good to me with regard to work, but Glasgow also has a few opportunities. Some smaller stuff available in Fife and Stirling with Dundee a growing but still tiny market. Obviously oil in Aberdeen.

                    The east coast is my preferred side to live on but the west has plenty going for it (but not the weather).

                      and you're a prime example of why.
