Interesting bit of personal history there George, my late mother was Austrian she worked in the Naffi as a cook when the British Army On the Rhine occupied the Rathausen in Klagenfurt, Austria circa 1947.

My mum was a NAAFI barmaid at Buller barracks in Munster. I was born in Munster BMH, my younger brother was born in Libya. Later on in life I introduced him to an Irish biker who was born in the same year and place! Did you grow up in the army community like I did?

No my life was slightly more complicated, when my Mum found out she was pregnant my biological father contracted TB whilst on home leave, when he returned to his unit in Klagenfurt he was sent home & discharged he died in a Sanatorium a few months before I was born  never knowing he had a son.  His father also died of TB in the same year as did another sibling.

Today we would call my mother an economic migrant she managed to enter the U.K. legally when I was five years of age I obtained British Nationality via the Naturalization route when I was 12 years of age. I have a cousin Heidi who I have visited a couple of times in the last 20 years, I have met all of my mothers family - sadly I lost most of my German tongue just getting some back when I learnt some spoken German at Uni.

You can't pay a daily charge, just stay out or get fined. A@#eholes!

Putting a dent in the intended Scotland tour...  ???
Is it at least properly signed or will we end up in some ambush?

It appears that motorcycles and mopeds of any age are exempt from all of the Scottish LEZs. Glasgow confirms this in their info, but Dundee is less clear and some information sites say that exempting motorcycles is optional for the local council. Usual government lack of clarity, clear as mud!

Course it is, we all know that yes and no are words that do not exist in govspeak
