Alexander L 80 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 on top of that it needs in order: 1. Pub 2. Kebab shop 3. Super 4. Curry house 5. Pub Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It needs at least 2 pubs, of course. I once played football against this team from a village in rural Perthshire, the village was 1 Main Street with 4 little streets coming off of it and there were 6 pubs!! All on the Main Street.

Alexander L 80 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 No. It's the other way round. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 No. It's the other way round.Sure. 1707 - 1885The Royal Burgh of Perth originally formed part of the Perth burghs constituency along with burghs in Fife and Forfarshire. The Representation of the People (Scotland) Act 1832 made Perth a separate burgh constituency. The remainder of the county returned a single member as the parliamentary county of Perthshire. The parishes of Tulliallan, Culross, Muckhart, and the Perthshire portions of the parishes of Logie and Fossaway were annexed to constituency of Clackmannanshire and Kinross in 1832. It is clear that Stirling had already selected the name Perth for the capital well before the town was proclaimed, as his proclamation of the colony, read in Fremantle on 18 June 1829, ended "given under my hand and Seal at Perth this 18th Day of June 1829. James Stirling Lieutenant Governor".[18] The only contemporary information on the source of the name comes from Fremantle's diary entry for 12 August, which records that they "named the town Perth according to the wishes of Sir George Murray".[19] Murray was born in Perth, Scotland, and was in 1829 Secretary of State for the Colonies and Member for Perthshire in the British House of Commons. The town was named after the Scottish Perth,[20][21] in Murray's honour.[22][23][24] Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Perthshire as in the place Perth Aus was named for The shire around the town of Perth.....of which the city of Perth in Australia was named after. Allegedly because the guy who founded it thought it looked like his hometown in Scotland......having been to both, I disagree Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I once played football against this team from a village in rural Perthshire, the village was 1 Main Street with 4 little streets coming off of it and there were 6 pubs!! All on the Main Street. Definitely not enough pubs in that town. In Australia, any town with a crossroad in the main street has 4 pubs. Any less is a waste of valuable real estate.

Alexander L 80 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I've been to lots of villages where the only way to get there is to drive. And the only attractions were the lovely country pubs. One in five of the party not a happy chappy. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Nice to have it and sell out, though. Could finance some nice skiing on the proceeds! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Could do a bit more than just finance skiing with that sort of money. Hell you could build your own private ski resort. On every continent that get snow! Link to post Share on other sites
