| Just in case anyone is in any doubt ( all our Welsh memers) where gods country is read this below
" Hello, God - Scotland calling!" An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.
He bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Orlando , thinking that he would start by working his way across the USA from South to North .
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read '$10,000 per call' .
The American, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what the telephone was used for . The priest replied that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God .
The American thanked the priest and went along his way .
Next stop was in Atlanta . There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same sign under it.
He wondered if this was the same kind of telephone he saw in Orlando and he asked a nearby nun what its purpose was .
She told him that it was a direct line to heaven and that for $10,000 he could talk to God .
'O.K., thank you,' said the American .
He then travelled all across America , Africa, England , Japan , New Zealand . In every church he saw the same looking golden telephone with the same '$US10,000 per call' sign under it. .
The American decided to travel to Scotland to see if Scots had the same phone .
He arrived in Scotland and again, in the first church he entered, there was the same looking golden telephone, but this time the sign under it read '40 pence per call.'
The American was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign .
'Father, I've travelled all over the world and I've seen this same golden telephone in many churches . I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but in all of them price was $10,000 per call . Why is it so cheap here?'
The priest smiled and answered, 'You're in Scotland now, son - it's a local call' .

| Series Team - Your Application to take part in the 2014 rally has suddenly 'stalled' - as an aviation man you'll know the consequences of such action The committee hasn't discarded the document - as you know we are fair minded, helpful, caring, supportive, understanding etc etc - but it seems to have found its way to the bottom of the pile. Should 'luck' prevail and your erstwhile committee ultimately agree to your 2014 entry it is 'probable' that you will incur significant penalty points from the outset. | |
