Wouldn't have mattered, that last bit was offscreen. Only saw it after I posted to fixr!

Damn, wish I'd known that. I could've hired a Scottish lawyer, he'd probably have represented for free.

Okay, your decision is being made in a pragmatic sense. Can't much argue with that. Still, why does she the think she is entitled to anything? Why can't she just walk away and leave you to it, knowing she contributed nothing?

You're assuming he's dealing with a reasonable person.

She may be a money grabber who knows the situation well enough to think she can get some free money out of it.

As Kos says, the amount he mentioned is the sweet spot of being what it would cost to sort it legally. It's the minimum amount of money he'd lose going down a legal route.

Because people are green eyed monsters.

Well, reasonable and woman rarely belong in the same sentence.

They are. Money makes people do weird things, such a screwing brothers and sisters out of their share of mum and dad's estate or demanding money where none was due for one reason or another. Happens all the time.

Makes one wonder why... never mind. It is a shame she isn't afraid of it. Will this make you say bad on her?

I'll let the feds do that.

Feds already know. They wait, perhaps to visit at Warwick Castle. She better leave steak and onion baguette alone - and donut.

I eat the donut.

Why you cling to donut? Leave it alone, it not bother you.

Donut will say bad on you.

Donut better watch itself or I'll turn it into shit!

This doughnut(!) of which you speak, is it a freshly-cooked ring doughnut, or one of those horrid, cold, greasy filled doughnuts, or worse, covered in glazing?

I have limited tolerance of doughnuts.

I love those little machines you get in seaside resorts and fun fairs that mix the dough and squirt it out onto a little automation line, shaping and taking the dough through its deep fried journey and finally depositing them on a paper plate. Them's proper doughnuts.

The shop bought ones, as you suggest are horrid bakery abominations. I am on the fence when it comes to glazes. I don't like finger food to be sticky, but I do appreciate the addition of sprinkles. If they found a way of sticking the sprinkles on without stickiness I'd be a better doughnut appreciator.

Yep, I love those little machines too. And some of them make mini doughnuts! :)

The only acceptable covering for hot, freshly-cooked, ring doughnuts is granulated white* supremacy sugar.

* racialist! :@

This report was just released today - might be helpful?

(Or maybe not as it deals with England and Wales and not Scotland.)
 

There's probably some appreciation society we can join. No doubt already patronised by men in flat caps, retired engineers probably, drinking tea, talking animatedly about cam shafts and drive belts. Of course, poor personal hygiene would abound and may well be positively encouraged.

Different legal systems so not really relevant. Scotch law is for more restrictive.
