Maybe we could have an appeal on tv to adopt a door. You pay so much a month and someone goes and oils the hinges.

Do we get an adorable cuddly door and photos of our door every three months?

I want my door to be in Scotland. Obviously, it cannot be in just any building, but somewhere like the Palace of Holyrood or the Scottish Parliament would befit someone of my stature.

Dotty. When I think of political institutions I think of waffle, flannel and bull****. What are you saying?

Would it be an independant fire door? It would certainly be an expensive one!

But Sir Col if you emmigrate back to the motherland, and they close the borders, there is no way they'd let a shifty-looking Sassenach like me to come in and educate you about the premise of responsible persons.

'I want my door to be in Scotland. Obviously, it cannot be in just any building, but somewhere like the Palace of Holyrood or the Scottish Parliament would befit someone of my stature.'

Typical ignore the poor overworked fire door in the basement of some building. Ignored by its owners, who don't care that its seals are missing or its hinges are failing because it is always being wedged open. Spending its short life being battered by trolleys and forced to work far beyond its normal retirement age and finally ending up as a broken wreck still doorfully trying to do its duty for its ungrateful masters.

These doors need liberating and sending into a happy retirement home!

Michael, such doors can be found in Aldershot and places like that. Not in Edinburgh, where the doors are fit for Kings, because the residents are just that.
