Oh - I'm so sorry @rowlandscastle444 - I was just making a daft joke! If you find another one, you could always donate them to many needy haggis, who are well known in having legs shorter on one side, so that they can run round hills easily. Having all legs equal would allow them to enjoy flatter ground....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

@Fairygirl No need to apologise. It's not as though I have a wooden leg. I tend to allow jokes about my physical health issues. It makes life easier to cope with. My wife knows how accepting I am of such things, and takes advantage of this.
For instance, I have a vagal nerve simulator implant, and when I went to have it activated, it was done so by a lovely nurse. Wife piped up that "you won't mind being turned on by her, will you!!" That turned a few heads!
The idea of the implant is to help reduce seizures, with the option of the implant being additionally activated by the use of a powerful magnet, in the event of a major seizure. This can be done by another person, should I be comatose. The magnet is 'swiped' across my chest. Wife makes the comment, "so I can LEGITIMATELY swipe him now then?"
She has been known to do so, in public - medically speaking, of course.
That made me laugh, @rowlandscastle444! One of our neighbours caused much hilarity at a women’s group meeting, in a discussion on whether having a tv in the bedroom was a good idea, announced loudly that she certainly wouldn’t, as she didn’t want ‘any stimulation in the bedroom’. Glad the vagal nerve stimulator implant is a help. I had a patient with one fitted, a bit scary for me. She had to explain to me how and when to use it, and it had to be brought into use several times during her treatment. Poor lady had to use a wheelchair all the time, despite being able to walk perfectly well, as she couldn’t risk the frequent falls. Makes those of us with less debilitating problems realise how lucky we are.
