Real Cadburys Creme Egg
Posted By: Kerrowdown, 03-01-2016, 08:08 AM

All happening here in the Highlands just now... Meteor overhead last night... Meteor 'bright flash' seen in skies over Scotland - BBC News and now this in the Loch... it appears to be one of three, below is the link to the more normal kind.

Perhaps they aliens are already here, but have a few language difficulties with the universal translators and the Scottish dialect.

It's the short-term memory you really need to worry about...

The whole Cadbury factory site is awash with aliens. Bloody Poms introduced them, back in the 1920s, and we can't get rid of the little buggers.

As Australia was one of the Cadburys largest export markets... you forgot to mention that bit.

Unfortunately Scots were transported too, if it had just been the English... then I couldn't agree more.

Carol what are you suggesting? even Google translate caters for the Scots Gaelic... Slàinte.

If it's good enough for Google...

My husband & I were very fortunate to be able to visit Scotland; both of us were completely lost trying to understand what was being said! However, the great hospitality and kindness by the locals, didn't need any translation whatsoever!

Google wasn't alive when we visited!

It's obviously been a while then (Google founded September 4, 1998), time to pay us all another visit.

Indeed, it was way before then! I'd love to visit again, so much history and the countryside is so beautiful; but sadly I no longer travel.

I'll have to cut a bit off, wrap it up and send it to you then.
