Let me know what it's like. I drive past it regularly when working and imagine it's a bit like Willy Wonka's factory but with (slightly) more liver failure and (slightly) fewer dwarves.

I imagine it's  like the Guinness brewery but with less Irish people, I'll keep you updated.

It was never likely to be honest. I remember when the sea at Eyemouth harbour used to turn green.

 

The water is crystal clear, except for the film of diesel and oil on the top, stay submerged and you’ll be fine

I've never been there either, so that's no help.

I have, lots of Irish people and tourists. Free pint of Guinness at the end so it's wasn't all bad.

Have you see the Gene Wilder version of Willy Wonka? It's like that but with more muted colours:

Well then. It's a more Scottish version of that. Workers are the same size but less cheerful and more pasty.

So basically you just parrot my own already shite joke back at me and, puzzlingly, ask if I've seen the film I was referring to in the first place? Cool.

I can't explain it Pete. Your initial post may have only registered in my subliminal, rather than my conscious mind. Suppose it sounds a good day out if you're into visiting factories.

Sounds to me like you're just a bit simple.

I'd argue busy or distracted but the truth hurts. You may be right.

There's no shame in it. The world has a proud history of stupid people.

Many of the folk I met there were minor European aristos too thick to go to Oxford or Cambridge. It got more glitzy after that William attended. Was more olde-worldy in my day.

I have never been.

I've only been that once and don't remember anything about it. Tune in again next time for another exciting instalment.

It's throbber heaven. Every other building is a pub. The standards are decent too as it's such a competitive market. Nice place to take the expanding family too.
