The Scots Build A Wheel!

WHEN SCOTSMEN BUILD SOMETHING 

THEY DO IT RIGHT!

AND THEY BUILD KELPIES!

In April of 2011, I invited myself and my son, Robby, to accompany my daughter, Kim and grandson, Tim on a transatlantic cruise and land tour in Great Britain. I was blessed to experience some very interesting sites with my beloved grandson, Timothy. He had researched our trip and told me about this site before we began.

FALKIRK WHEEL

The world's only rotating boat lift!

 An engineering marvel of the 

twentieth and twenty-first century.

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A PRE-SCHOOLER?

A dear friend from Glosgow, Scotland

frequently sends me emails

that reflect the British humor or culture.

I thought this one was worth sharing.

THE BUS TEST

I already knew I was thicker than 11 year olds ...But now it's the pre-schoolers??  

A PRE-SCHOOL TEST FOR YOU

Which way is the bus below travelling?

To the left or to the right?

Can't make up your mind?

Look carefully at the picture again.

Still don't know? 

Pre-schoolers all over the United Kingdom  were shown this picture and asked the same question. Ninety percent of the pre-schooler's gave this answer. 

"The bus is travelling to the right."


When asked, 
"Why do you think the bus is travelling to the right?" 


They answered: 

"Because you can't see the door to get on the bus." 

How do you feel now???

I know, me too.

I quickly emailed Ian to tell him that, here, the bus would be traveling to the left. I added, I still would have not gotten the answer correctly.

Hope you enjoy the laugh!

Hugs,
