In 2006 we were touring the north east, stopping at the Berwick on Tweed CC site. One day we decided to cross the border because I had some Then and Now pics to take. On our way on numerous occasions drivers coming the other way either stuck their fingers up, one or two for variety, or stuck their face against the windscreen grimacing. I wondered what was wrong and remarked to Her Ladyship that the local natives must have escaped from the asylum.
In Duns, after taking my pics, I walked back to my car which I'd parked in the square, leaving my wife sat in there. It's just as well I did because I'm sure otherwise it would have been trashed. It was then that I spotted the reason for the one/two fingered salutes. On both back windows I had the flags flying that Dusty mentioned.
In all honesty I wouldn't have left them there on purpose but on reflection I'm glad I did seeing how many Jocks I'd upset. I've still got the flags as a souvenir and they'll be coming out again in June when we tour the southeast. On reflection, somewhere back in time, one of my ancestors must have been a Scot because I'm too tight to buy a new set ... heh! heh! heh!
