This might have already been mentioned, but maybe not.
In the course of my last job, I had to go to a few schools in the north of Scotland (where I live). One of these was Buckie High. Yes, as in the track...
Anyway, when I got there, I parked up outside a café on the main street. The name of the café?...
...
Sandisons.
Too perfect
edit: The school's website is at
http://www.buckiehigh.com/ in case anyone wondered.

I had to do a presentation to some pupils as part of trying to win a contract for the company I used to work for.
Also, I thought the Buckie High part might have been mentioned already, but Sandisons wasn't... I wonder if the owners are related in some way.

Guys! I have a question.
In bocpages link of the song "blockbusters" was information that this track was recorded from this popular UK tv show.
Also i heard from it the same phrase: "Can i have a P please Bob"
Is that the point of a track name "She is P"?

I'm getting a busy signal but that's probably because Hexagon Son is on the line already.
pidgin, re: Sandison's, did you eat there? How was the food?

I'm actually from Edinburgh, and in my last job a middle aged woman was talking about a "Peacock Tail Road". I've googled it and can't find it, but don't see why she would lie about that?
Actually, after just poking around on wikipedia a bit, I see we have birth dates for both of them, but where the fuck do people find that? Can't imagine they've given it in any interviews.

the dates were derived in each case by subtracting 364 un-birthdays

In the UK certain girls names are sometimes abbreviated to just the first letter by their friends - i.e P instead of Penelope or B instead of Beatrice etc.. so i assume it's a friend of theirs. But i like the Blockbusters idea
