Long light Scottish evenings.

Are the assistants ginger?

Only in Scottish supermarkets! Apparently the ginger gene is inherited from our distant relatives the Neanderthals. Not meant to be a racist comment BTW, because I had a ginger beard and moustache and gingery/brown hair before I went grey. :)
 
My good lady is a lovely curly ginger haired lass. Has the fiery nature to boot. We're not all ginger kilt wearers up here though... :)
 
Are the assistants ginger?

Doubtful. Gingers can't work in supermarkets (except all night ones), they can't go out in daylight you see......a bit like vampires really......unless they have managed to join up all of their freckles (which acts as a sunscreen of sorts).....we call those ones daywalkers.
 
It's called the Fohn effect. In the prevailing Westerly wind, the air is dried out and slightly warmed up as it passes over the Grampian Mountains. In England we get the same effect in the lee of the Welsh Mountains and the Pennines.

Every day is a school day right enough. :)
 
Nairn is one of the Dryest places in the UK , very often it can be lashing down in Inverness and the cloud splits and passes by Nairn, main reason it was such a popular Victorian holiday resort.

Daylight wise at the moment you could still play till 10.30 and around the beginning of June past 11pm, but now the light is just about to go earlier and its down hill all the way now.

In winter it does not get light until almost 8.30- 9am and dark again by 3, 3.30, so if we didn't have the time change it would be even bleaker.
