House Bartender Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 The Elsie Inglis* statue hasn't appeared yet, so how about another local & international hero * Other than hundreds of sycophantic memorials to Queen Victoria, have we any decent statues of women in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind reading up on it, they got him in Afghanistan or iirc, he used to raid the mess hall for munch. Polish people used to come visit him in Edinburgh Zoo, he'd hear the accent and get excited, they'd throw him cigs and he'd eat them! Good work if you can get it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
