Trying to figger it all out

How long does it take to get from Scotland to England? <BR><BR>And will 9 days be enough, or will we run out of money before we get there?<BR><BR>Also, if I buy groceries in England and don't bring my own shopping bag, how will I get the groceries out of the store?

If you do it the traditional Scottish way, you would hitch a bag of oatmeal over your shoulder, which would feed you and (once emptied) would take care of those straneg Sassenach groceries. As for the time - well it all depends how fast you can move with a bag of oatmeal over your shoulder: probably not much faster than a s-troll.

They're right next door to each other, so it should only take a second, not 9 days.<BR><BR>They're a bit mean in England, but even THEY should give you a carrier bag!!

I don't know myself, but if you skip down two steps from the FourNTwentyBlackbirds, you'll find LilMiss Muffett sitting there. She knows where it is. I seem to remember that it is on Drury Lane, not too far from The Muffin Man.<BR><BR>No! Do not wear jeans! This is very upmarket and you must look smart.
