Very well done Andrew - you did it while I was away 'firing' on Thomas the Tank Engine !
As an aside - do you happen to know what is the general average % of 'Ginger' kids is in Scotland? There seemed to be a great number at Bo'ness today - all desperate to visit T the T !!

Shan't - I'm a fake, with a load of poltergeist posts. Not as many as you though, I was surprised to see ;)

I like my little bits of late night lack of moderation, certainly...

According to an article I read in a newspaper yesterday, only 2% of the world population is ginger. However Scotland has the highest percentage worldwide with 13% of residents being ginger
Perhaps the reason for this is that redheads are prone to burning in the sun so Scotland will be pretty safe for them

Enough to mean you don't get stared at in the street. unlike (say) London...

I think you'll find that Londoners don't stare at gingers in the street. They just cross over to the other side of the road very quickly

Don't haveto 'think I'll find' - I lived there long enough

Well - 13% of 'ginger' kids might have been about right! Certainly seemed to be more than 1 in 10. It is a Scottish gene and sure sign of Scottish ancestry. Unfortunately another Scottish gene seems to give a susceptibility to developing MS - far higher % in Scotland than in rest of UK. That gene is known to have come from Scandinavia (Viking invasions!) and it may be the 'ginger' gene has the same ancestry.
