    Been think there of moving there.

    Is this a concern there? I know it roughly neighbours Larkhall and Stonehouse. But the area looks really nice but I’ve heard things.

    Weans will be in the plans in next couple of years. I’m annoyed I need to factor this in as I like the look of the place but I don’t want raise weans in an area if it’s so one way that their religion would be an issue.

    I have only passed through there. It seems alright, but if I had to guess, with it being on the border of Ayrshire and Lanarkshire, I would guess that there are more of them than us.

    Just asked my mate who lives in Stonehouse and he doesn’t think it’s a concern in Strathaven.

    It’s lovely and there are some Tims, but be under no illusion, it’s a * bigoted stronghold. Scotland is a bigoted stronghold so you’re * either way.

    I remember seeing A4 posters stuck to lampposts etc saying “One Queen One Crown No Pope In This Town” during the summer. We had been in The Waterside.

    It’s so staunch you get free brown brogues with every large bag of chips.

    Don't know Strathaven but the other 2 you've mentioned are Hun holes big time. Stonehouse my old man said was hoaching and Larkhall is well known although a fair amount of Tim's live there..

    Same as likes of Burnbank etc..

    You’ll be fine. Not a patch on the two other dumps you mentioned.

    And it’s a nice wee place to boot

    There are more of them than us, but it's alright. Used to know a couple of huns from Strathaven and it was almost like they were actually human.

    Forgot to say, your kids will end up travelling to EK to go to St Brides High School (it’s called St Andrews & St Brides now after a merger, but St Andrews can * off, they were a shower of wanks) and will attend the best performing school in the county.

    There's a lot of new money in Strathaven that kinda diluted the inbred cross eyed ogres, but one must face up to the fact that, in general, they are Sevco leaning, drum banging flute fondlers!
