am I missing something but - all the stories allegedly coming from Douglas Milne via the Scotland depot appears to be missing in content - are they ALL misprinted ? All I seem to get is the non photo caption - but no story to back it up ....as I say....I have been accused of many things ... but not stupidity....although there is still time....
