Me too - and it really is SHITE. We got an offer of the whole Showtime package free for 2 weeks a while back - EVEN MORE SHITE!!! Just 3 channels showing Buffy, Charmed etc instead of 1. Wish I had BBC Prime - any ideas on how we could get it from Sahm JB?

Well, it is desired not to do so, as it doesn't look very appealing. We are in theory also not allowed to do so in The Greens but dishes are visible just not into the main street. There are no actual rules for you to get punished for it just yet anyway. They put the wording wrong in our community rules, as they stated that no aerials are allowed to be fixed on exterior walls, well, I just placed ours on the balcony and look at it as a furniture asset. I did not drill into an exterior wall and I only did it, because we had paid for a subscription but did not get connected for 6 weeks. No Tele, Internet or Telefon. My husband was out of the country at the time and I was knew in Dubai, completely cut off from civilisation. I had enough and just got myself a dish.

FYI hot barndy is the same as hot brandy and warms the cockles is short for warming the cockles of your heart, which means warms you through to your bones.....I think LOL :)

Neither do I & I'm from Aberdeen! I really struggle understanding some people from Aberdeenshire as they speak a dialect called Doric. Nightmare! :scared:

I like the Inverness accent though - apparently they speak the most correct Queen's English so you should find it easy to understand Novita.
