Interesting fact for football fans!

Most people know that The Proclaimers are massive Hibs fans and that their fantastic song Sunshine On Leith is sung at games. But something a lot of you do not realise is that many years ago, brothers Craig and Charlie both worked as groundsmen for the club.

They got the sack after players complained that the grass was too long and it ruined their passing game.

The brothers blamed this on DIY store B and Q. Despite several attempts, they simply could not find the appropriate equipment.

The shops they visited included;




Bathgate no mower,
Linwood no mower,
Irvine no mower, Lochaber no mower,
Sutherland no mower,
Lewis no mower,
Skye no mower..........

That.... now that is actually funny, despite seeing it coming from some way off... perhaps that trip to find said mower was around 500 miles... on foot.


:rolleyes:

NB: I am originally from Edinburgh and yes when football was something I did, Hibs, like Rebus, was my team..... until it went up to three bob to get in.
