Kirkcaldy, Scotland. Birthplace of Adam Smith of `Wealth of Nations' fame. Relatively near to Edinburgh, the Venice of the North. Happy to...
Needless to say, I can readily understand your preference for Jockland to London :-). However, ya has to do what ya has to do....and be where your...
I was down in London in April for a bit of rest and relaxation. First time i actually enjoyed being in the big smoke. Usually i;m there on...
Bobby, Firstly, which country do you live in? Secondly, do you have any pictures of thezxse coins? If so, why not post them here so that...
The crumpled one is the `before'........It was a metal detector find in a ploughed field in the south of England. It was straightened out...
