I'm not in NE China right now - although I do live and play there during my time off from the day job.
And Liaoning Province in NE China's a sight better than NE Scotland by the way.
It's mainly because of the rather stellar Chinese financial black hole I happen to be married to, and who would be completely lost were I to make her reside in a Doric speaking region - although she can, and does, swear with tremendous aplomb in a Glasgow accent. Which is pretty funny.
Oh yeah, and my highly successful spot of tax evasion, of course....
Naah, only kidding on the taxman. I've been officially and legally None-UK Resident since 1997.

Thanks Richie......and a photo of a Celtic supporter drinking the dregs of discarded beer bottles.....excellent

Hi Del,
Just a point of conjecture old chap, I hope you are not implying that I am a Celtic supporter in anyway by that photograph.

If so I take great umbrage!
I am a red arsed chimpanzee and a lot further up the evolutionary scale I may add.
cheers

My youngest son worked up in Elgin for a year or two and has since moved to New York, he has a dim view the place " Elgin that is "

Aye, it's a shame the Wolf of Badenoch burned down Elgin Cathedral in 1390 and left the rest of the place relatively intact - hmm - that might make for a good 54mm diorama. Let me put on my "planning hat" and I'll see what I can come up with in a few months time.
Sorry to steal your thread Del - I think the nameplates are an excellent idea and intend to incorporate them into future vignettes and scenarios.

Cheers

Thanks Grant but as I say they are what they are. Certainly good fun to do and you get a decent result but they don't work for everything.

Interesting article Del.

As an aside, I used to work for Paper Direct. It was when it was part of a group of companies owned by an American company (the concept of Paper Direct came from the States). The company was sold and split-up by business unit and went with another unit. However, I believe they are still about and in Hinckley.

Its a small old world
