There are 3 types of people who come to Lossie. Those who don't want to come and fight like hell to get away. Those who don't want to come, fall in love with the area and don't want to go. And those who know the secret.
I definitely fell into the first category, it took me 49 weeks to get back over the border and it wasn't a day too early. Conversely I have a number of (english) mates who fell (and continue to fall) into the 2nd group and love the place. Very few are indifferent, you either love it or hate it.
