Tried to search for a “spotted” thread but can’t see one so apologies if there is one.
Spotted a clarets car in South Queensferry, wondered if they were on here?

Was it a Fiesta or something of similar size?
Was up that way last June and I spotted a car parked up along the main drag sporting a burnley window scarf or something...

If it was a red car then it will almost certainly be my mate's car. He's a Claret who lived in Burnley in his formative years and now lives on the main street in South Queensferry . Usually has a Burnley "mini-kit" hanging in his car and occasionally posts on here as sliding tackle.

Are you sure that "sliding tackle" would want you to reveal his details on a forum like this?
Maybe just me, but I wouldn't be happy.

Do you have his bank details?

Apologies for the slow response to this query.
I am indeed the owner of the red Ford Fiesta parked on the High Street in South Queensferry, and notable for having a 'My Turf, My Town' sticker (plus an old Holland's Pies era mini-kit, when it sticks properly) in the back window.
And, yes, as my mate Stalbansclaret correctly indicates, I am indeed SlidingTackle.
And, yes, as he also correctly points out, I have absolutely NO problem with being 'outted' on here!!!
Although, since another mate mentioned it, I now live in constant fear of the notorious North Queensferry branch of the Blackburn Rovers 'massif' coming looking for me.......
Anyway, good spot.
We get about us Clarets, but as Stalbansclaret (who uses a bogus geographical reference to throw off those who are searching for him) notes, Burnley will always be home.

Well I didn’t check this for a few days and thought I’d started a war
Lucky man living next door to Lou Lou’s!
We’re up in SQF 4 or 5 times a year to visit family, love the place!

Lou Lous's! Asif and Louise are good friends.
My youngest daughter used to work for the rival emporium across the road. There is an intense rivalry, heightened by a Edinburgh Evening News 'poll' in which they came first and second respectively in a 'Best Ice-cream Parlour' in Edinburgh vote.
Imagine coming second and being asked 'Where was first?' and having to point at the place directly across the road......
