In today's post

Something liable to warm the cockles of Huttonian's Heart (or possibly raise the collective hackles of the Campaign for a Real Berwickshire Postcode or whatever the group of trans-border TD15ers is called).... an A-Z of council services. "So what?" I hear you say, well it's an A-Z of council services provided by Northumberland County Council - to an address in Scotland that's not been in England since the Kingdom of Bernicia existed (which became absorbed into England long before the Battle of Hastings).

Also Euan Robson MSP has graciously sent a copy of his report card to every household in his constituency - and possibly those over the border in Cornhill where he doesn't hold any power at all. The leaflet features Mr Robson in a variety of poses in the course of his work as a constituency MSP for Roxburgh & Berwickshire, along with some boring stuff in words....

Beware of the MSP!


Euan leans on German machinery digging trenches across rural Berwickshire to lay electricity cables out of harms way - until an overzealous farmer ploughs one up and breaks his plough and the cable in one fell swoop.


Euan demonstrates that he can find bus timetables at the bus stop - although this being the Borders he's probably missed the bus by 1 or 2 days.


I really can't comment on the expression in this picture - Euan you is da Lib Dem crew ;-)



Finally, Euan displays a penchant for playing freestyle Twister™ not even bothering with a mat.
