WildLife Sanctuary ideas please.
Only to be eaten alive by midges ...
Not in Aberdeen, as a rule - midges don't like sunshine and they don't like wind. Anne |

What about people us to say 'I'm going up town......."
Jenny Actually we always said 'down town' because we went downhill to get to the town centre. Anne |

"BAC" wrote in message ... "Jim Webster" wrote in message ... As Angus said, it was a past convention. I suspect it arose during the golden age of rail travel, when the 'up' line was the line which led to the main terminus, regardless of either gradient or comparative latitude. On any English main line connecting to London, therefore, one travelled 'up' to London. Nowadays, the convention seems to have fallen into disuse. Thankfully not on the railway. Most times, the trains seem to know which track to be on.... Tony |
