No it's not. Maybe when Broon sold off a large chunk of Britain's reserves, but a quick fag packet/iPhone calculation puts its weight/value in gold terms at the current price at around six billion.

The once popular kid gangster group 'Blazin' Squad' once sung about this natural phenomenon in the song 'Flip Reverse'.

I think. knowing the facts, it's easy to understand why the misconception arose.

 

David Bowie, who was involved in the production of Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side was first taught saxophone by Ronnie Ross who did the sax solo on that same song. They hadn't crossed paths between those early lessons and the recording sessions.

Yep and Manchester is further East than Edinburgh
