<div id="ygrps-yiv-2136015764">When I crossed the Eng/Sco boundary near Jedburgh, there were two monoliths, <br/>
shaped like the menhirs obelix carries in the Asterix books. They said <br/>
Scotland on one side and England on the other. Interestingly, the word <br/>
england was on the scottish side (of course it is an indication to scottish <br/>
trafic that they are entering Sassenachland).<br/>
They are tourist objects of recent erection, purely to be photographedi n <br/>
front of, and more difficult to move than the boundary sign at Coldstrwam, <br/>
that some enterprising but soused Scots larrakins got arrested for trying to <br/>
move further south a few years back.<br/>
<br/>
ps with an email address like &#39;orc&#39;, I presume you have premiere tickets for <br/>
the Lord of the Rings release, and all the merchandising on lay-by?<br/>
