I went on Jim'll Fix-it when I were a lad. Does this mean I have to wear my "Jim fixed it for me" medal?

I have been in Lewis since late 2004 and am observing life on this fascinating island from an outsider's perspective. I look out at the lighthouse every day - as it looks out over the island and the sea.
