| Indeed - also, Scotland produces one of the finest sausages known to man - the sliced sausage. You can get the real thing (produced by a Scotsman, no less!) on Preston market. ;) Sliced sausage? Is it just like a regular sausage albeit it is purveyed in sliced form or is there some other difference... |

I used to like that as well.
Interestingly enough, in some parts of Scotland Irn Bru is more popular than Coca Cola. |

I got a government paid place at a private grammar school. The scheme ran up until 1997.

| Is that like the UK version of Gatorade or something? In that it is a sports drink I suppose so, except it tastes very different; it is fizzy for a start. We actually have gatorade over here too (I like the blue one). I don't know about all these new varieties but the original lucozade was an orang... |

| Thing is, depression isnt particularly physically debilitating, except in extreme cases, and yet i know people who have been awarded way higher than I have for problems barely a tenth of mine. If the DLA had a little more standardisation about it then it might prevent people taking advantage of it ... |

| Does anyone here get DLA for Aspergers? By my reckoning, thats a pretty broad subject. I dont recall anyone saying we could ONLY debate entitlement. Further to that: The relative ease of a child gaining a diagnosis and the support network they can then access means that they are in a much better po... |

| Also, we are rather assuming that Bill Gates DOESNT wet himself when hes out etc etc. Stephen Hawkings makes a shite load of money, and he would certainly qualify as disabled. This is a perfect example. Yes, Stephen Hawkings makes a lot of money but he would be entitled to DLA. The reason? Well it ... |
