:Erm: Good question. I don't know but don't think so. We had Charles and Camilla over here just a few weeks ago sampling Manx kipper baps.......:icon_lol:

I was speaking to an old soldier in our local Morrisons on Sunday. Seventy-eight, he is :olddude: ... and he told me he's one of a contingent from his former Regiment, the 'Black Watch' being introduced to HM at Balhousie Castle - its Headquarters in Perth - next month.

Slightly :icon_offtopic: ... but this ex-serviceman also mentioned he was still working :yikes: - as a caretaker/handyman at a block of flats roughly half a mile down the road from me.

:cwm24: ... what's his secret? :rolleyes:

Never smoked nor drank :nono-1-1: ... in spite of his Army service.

But he does happen to be the proud owner of one of the LARGEST motorbikes I've ever seen! :omg:

I'm surprised the politically correct brigade haven't cottoned on to that famous regiments name and had it erased from the history books
