3 of these places are within 30 miles of here - no surprises there! We had hail again this morning... The last place 'Lochgoilhead' is a town that's pretty much owned by one man - if he doesn't like you, you won't get served in the pub, the shop or the petrol station, with the next town a good 15 miles away. Fecking Boss Hogg mofo!
