An attraction that we didn't appreciate in advance was the SRPTA's guest speaker, Lord Birsay, who stood kilted and foursquare and held the entire gathering in fascinated silence with a speech championing the rights of the individual against the ever-encroaching political and technological waves. Not that his lordship, who is an ore adian from the stern and wild North, was hectoring. Far from it—and he told a hilarious transport tale, too.
Leyland's Trevor Webster told me it was the finest speech he'd heard in his whole life. And I think that goes for me, too.
