We walked in to a village pub just South of Fort William in Scotland and everybody stopped and stared. Before I could explain to my fiance a fine gentleman approached and asked me my name. I replied 'I know, I know Sir.... just tell me where it is'. He answered,'I think you'll find that your Public House in just down the road, on the right.'
