      ❤Respect to your granddad❤. Try singing this south of county bloody Durham and they look at you like you're from another planet! Proper music! May I recommend for your viewing pleasure a clip of Billy Connolly - titled Don't Drink The Tap Water In Ibiza? I had tears of laughter watching it.

    When I was a young man in Inverness, Billy appeared there in one of the two theatres (one of them, La Scala, if I remember right - it was a long time ago - doubled as a cinema)
    The Corries were on at the other one. We could only see one of the acts, and most of us took the rare opportunity of seeing The Corries live , leaving Billy’s gig sparsely attended. Sorry Billy . I heard Billy swore never to perform in Inverness again. I moved down south soon after and I don’t know if he kept to his threat.
