Nice offer Alan. I apologise for the idiots who have responded, most likely from "darn sarf". Geordie Taylor read your message and would like a lift. He will email you later.
I was the 'idiot' who asked for a lift from Edinburgh. Don't bother to pick me up I got arrested in Scotland after going the 'wrang way' in an invalid cariage up Princes Street.
Safe journey to all the Geordies and have a lovely time at the reunion.
Home safe afterwards and well done to the man who offered to carry his brothers in arms to the event.
