am i to take it that you live in Ayr?
Im not from scotland(or even the uk).
I have googled but cannot fathom what "Association football (as played by the honest men Rat)" means - honest!!

Ayr United are known as `The honest men`

thankyou mamya and thank you george too xx

Hello Rat.
Strange, I just Googled too and up came heaps of Ayr Utd sites. The reference is
to Burns's poem Tam o'Shanter which may not be a universal favourite but which features in every Burns supper around the globe.
'Auld Ayr wham ne'r a toun surpasses
for honest men and bonny lasses.'
So, one would have thought that even a rudimentary acquaintance with either UK geography or UK literature or UK sport would preclude the need to check the correct spelling of Ayr. However I suppose it's always better to be safe than sorry.
