405.0. "The SHEEP topic" by VYGER::BONEM (Bikers have more FUN!!|) Fri Mar 22 1996 14:16

    This is the sheep topic, since those of you dont know what this
    means I will try to explain, Anyone from the Aberdeen area in Scotland
    Always gets asked "HOW ARE THE SHEEP THEN?", its a Scottish tradition
    and is VERY polite!. ;-)

    Ive always been hiding from that - letting people think it's only
    the WELSH that get asked that !! - but now youve broughtme to the fore
    of attention, Im sure I'll get lots of it - as usual!  :-p

Oh, now I understand...   That's what all this sheep business is all
about...

So how about a bit more background to this intriging (sp?) subject... 
Why is it pollite to ask someone from Aberdeen how the sheep are?
