I AM NOT indulging in a backhanded compliment when I say that employees at Lothian Region's Marine garage, Seafield, Edinburgh, are a splendid lot, too.
When they heard that a fouryear-old crippled girl needed a meChanical wheelchair they fillled a giant whisky bottle (what else?) with coins and invited Archie Buchanan, former Hibernian Football Club player, to knock off the neck at a garage ceremony. Out cascaded £252, which "club funds" quickly raised to the required £260.
