Tenner = £10
Oyster Card = A pre-paid ticket for use on all London public transport, e.g. the tube and buses Hold it over the reader and the ticket gates on the underground open and deduct £3 or so from your balance, can be topped up at any underground station, online or in newsagents or any kiosk displaying the Transport for London topup or congestion charge sign.

Oyster card sounds convenient. Is it anonymous, or a thinly veiled tracking device?

I haven't used mine for years since I don't live in London anymore and when we go to visit friends of family we usually drive, but I got one when they first came out and just got it at the ticket office, topped up and went on my way. Now I think they may be like any season ticket so if you lose it you can get it back, pensioners and the disabled get free ones linked to their address so tracking for them I suppose.

If you're a tourist you can just pick one up in a tourist office last time I checked and be on your way. They are very convenient I know in Seattle you have Orca cards which are the same, the NY subway season tickets are the same too.

Our version of the Oyster card is the Orca card.

My father is a huge Anglophile. Owns an old Rover, his wife has a new Mini. Hunts with an over and under in a greased Balfor and tweed cap. Got me hooked on some great UK classics via our PBS as a kid. Owns trained Brittany Spaniels which he hunts woodcock and quail with. He even takes "tea" and belongs to some kind of American tea-takers club. Plays the pipes in parades and such.

But I dont know jack about pounds, pence, and shillings (only that I covet the gold sovreigns Ive seen). Old stuff, I gather. For fun i sometimes give my weight in stones since I hate the metric system.

Rover is now Chinese and always were shit, except the V8 engine which TVR used, they were good engines, Land Rover still use them in the V8 Defender why change a good thing Traditionally seen as old peoples cars, however the later ones were built like tanks! Has to be a side by side for game shooting, my old Holland & Holland was my father's and my grandfather's before that. English Springers and Cockers are the best hunting dogs IMO, I am biased as I have an ESS and we have always had ESS and ECS as they are so sweeeet! Tea is amazing, end of! Does he play bagpipes? I don't know ow you can put up with the noise they make! It takes a dedicated person to play and put up with those things lol. Do you mean a barbour wax jacket? I own several as they are simply, amazing. Had one for 20 years which I use for walking the dog, get it re-waxed every few years, no need for a new coat every year.

You know why pipers walk when they play?

To get away from the sound :^D

I love pipes of all kinds. They're one of my favorite instruments. I almost bought Swedish pipes years ago, but never got to it. The prices skyrocketed on them, and now I wouldn't want to spend the money :^(

They aren't for me, however, before a 6 nations match between England and Scotland at Murrayfield, the atmosphere wouldn't be the same without the bagpipes playing as the players come on the field, I can take them then but thats the only exception! lol

[Frosted]

I can't stand the Scottish agony bags.
I love the uillieann pipes though - it's an Irish thing, rips right through your heart.

Not sure the year if his Rover but it has to be around 25-30 yo. He may just trap shoot with the over/under (cause he'd want to get it right ) i know he has a bunch if side by's and he likes 16 and 20 for birds. Not sure what he has so I'll ask! Thats got to be the right jacket. Dark green thing he has to oil it. He is all about the dogs and was pretty well known as a trainer and a fellow who could pick the best one out of a kennel whereas to me they look pretty much identical . He does play the bagpipes and dresses the part as well cause he is related to the MacKinnons and Rydales who came to America via Northern Ireland post-plantation. He has been to Scotland and England but I had to stay home and babysit the Scottish family as part of a house-swap thing.
But before you ask, they were gits. All they wanted to do was commercial crap like Disney and act American. Oh yeah and bitch about all the blacks and a lack of nightclubs. Lol anyhow all my Irish ancestors are Protestant. My father has always been proud of the roots. For Xmas I got him Extra Crumbs of Comfort. He is in to that sort of thing as well.
