Where is Clyde in Scotland? Sorry to sound ignorant but I don't know that region. Article says the life expectancy there is the same as Palestine and lower than Albania.

Deep Fried Mars Bars are a Scottish thing. A Mars bar is a very chocolatey based sweet, but you probably know that anyway. The Scots developed a habit af frying them in oil as you would fish......for the classic delicacy Fish and Chips. Never tried it myself though ! ! ! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I knew it sounded vaguely familiar but it's not something I would think of to fry. Every time I look at your avatar I want a drink! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
