Even at that, he's very restless and I can hear him through the wall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any stories about the incident ? I saw that they were selling abit of the plane maybe about 5/10 years ago that a farm hand had allegedly hidden ,it’s not for from the prehistoric burial cairn which is also worth a look if anyone is into that sort of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Bringing down the tone of the thread somewhat I know but the thread title does mention "notorious" (albeit I've never heard of a "blow-in" before)... One of Jamie Bulger's killers spent a spell in Ayrshire under an assumed name. Someone I know worked with him indirectly for a charity under contract to the Home Office or Prison Service or something when in Stevenston but he didn't stay long thankfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lived for a couple of years in a small village in the Glens of Antrim where we were introduced to that term. It refers to folk from outwith those communities who appear alien and exotic to the locals. The Pie & Bovril exemplar of the "blow-in" would be @Jacksgranda, though he may have managed to assimilate over the decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
