Heh. The BBC has visited the ancestral town of Neil Armstrong in the Scottish Borders. The "Muckle Toon" of Langholm, for a live link thingy.
Pity they can't even spell it right. Langham they call it. In the old days, the Border Reivers of that area would have burned their studios down for getting that one wrong 8-)

I remember reading a article that Neil once visited the town his scottish ancestors lived near, and a local official found a law from a few centuries back that said he must "hang any armstrong who shall dare enter this town".
he let him off with a warning.
I'm baaaaaaack

Yeah, that was Langholm. Funny how things go, eh?
