Take your advice; because that wild Scottish weather became now a wild Flemish weather
. Aren't Scots and Flemish sharing everithing ?(we have only a difference in lions colour). And the weather; you allways shift it towards us. Thanks irenerobbie

Black on a yellow field. The 'Belgian' lion is just the opposite: yellow on a black field (Flemish are allways against the grain !). They both should have red claws and tongues. (but they stick them out too much)

lions on flags
the scottish lion rampant is red and yellow. it is the kings flag of ancient times and can only be used with permission of the king(i don't know which king) but no one told me that fact when i put one on my last sand castle

lions and roosters
You made the picture Irene,
Put a Belgian lion on a sandcastle and what is left: a Flemish lion and a Walloon rooster
For the Walloon rooster (red rooster on yellow field) is the only animal crying off load on a dunghill. Sorry, couldn't resist Belgian yoke and problem

No problem, I understand nobody else can understand the situation in this little apecountry.
Someday Belgium will have a divorce and split up in Fanders and Wallonia (and Brussels between). As the symbol of Wallonia (French speaking part) is a red rooster (where they got it ?) we Flemish are joking them with the rooster being the only animal daring to sit on the top of a dunghill. No worries as long as we can laugh with each other we will not fight it off.

Well I think we are all queueing to join up with you now. Its the free prescriptions, but how come all our dentist are Scottish? do they not like looking in your mouthes, or is it a sadistic national revenge campaign.

i would go for the sadistic argument. do you know we also get free bus travel any where in scotland after age 60. i,m trying to work out a cunning plan, combining free public transport and wild camping, any suggestions. you have ten years to work it out for me
