As to the article in the link to the Sun regarding the scarf commemorating the visit of Pope Benedict XVI, it seems that an inexperienced Polis was a bit over zealous.
I am a wee bit concerned that this topic can stay within the rules of XMTS though.
just noticed Peter you are originally from Uddingston, I'm originally from Bellshill, Old Boyd Tunnock is still going strong, caramel wafers and teacakes are brilliant, he still drives his father's Rolls Royce, reg AT1
