Never heard the expression before. I've met with reps of the Iranian National Guard and the local flower arranging team. Same prep. ;-)
many years ago I joined Fodors and an old timer suggested to me the best way to give advice was not to try and join the gang that is answering the question like a school test but to answer the question honestly and truefully about what one would do in that situation as if you were answering at a much higher, maybe University, level. As a result I've often seen people disagree about the answer even though both pieces of advice are correct to what one would do. Once that concept is in your mind it might help.
I thought both Janisj and you were right, just different anwers.

It was just a typo that should have read for! I then read your query as that I was meeting some foes.
Earlier I was just pointing out that the weather forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday was really rather good for November in contrast to the stormy weekend, so maybe getting at least some way north might still be on.

Hello dear fodorites, Hi,
Your ideas are stellar. We are enjoying Glasgow. We have a wonderful last minute deal at Alamo Guest House in the West End. We took a hop on hop off tour (we didn’t hop), ,had a great lunch at an Indian restaurant across form Kelvingrove and spent the rest of the day there until we had to leave, as they closed. Superb museum! We have booked the Oban, Glencoe, Highland Lochs & Castles tour; this goes where we wanted to go and DH is happy to take a driving break. We will see, maybe go to Stirling for the day on Wednesday., depending how we feel.
Much thanks!
