Now that's a tripod. I wonder if roving reporters attend special classes on how to stand in that special roving reporter way?

Aye,they follow on closely from the 'How To Look Like a Pompous Diddy (Advanced)' module.

(I've no idea who the bloke is, btw, so nothing personal - they just all come across that way).

Re: Grampa Preaching at Bridgeton Cross

But I rather doubt whether they went in for open air preaching, although I could be wrong about this. And since they did not believe in having formal places of worship they did not have churches either.

Actually, I have been writing about them in the past tense but as a religious group they still exist, albeit not in large numbers as far as I know.


Thank you viceroy for that article it was interesting and sorry for taking so long to reply. Mum told me that her mother was Close Brethern but she never said her dad was so he could have been different. He was all for helping people and as they say 'he would have given his shirt of his back' and he did this many a time. Gramps was the founder member of the Bridgeton British Legion and was a handsome man.
