I doubt if anyone named Gordon Hills living in the Glasgow area would write such abominable English. Obviously not a native speaker.
Just delete the e-mail and give it no more thought!

| suggested procedure | Jul 23, 2010 |
I would suggest that you print out this document, preferably on lightweight stock. Then crumble it up into a ball, and roll it between your palms about 20 times. Then unfold it, and repeat the procedure several times. Then unroll the crumpled paper, flatten it out, and cut it into two pieces across the short length. This should suffice in an emergency.

And not only me, but a colleage of mine, living a few blocks away, got it too.
En niet alleen ik, maar ook een collega, die wat verderop woont, kreeg het.
Et un collègue l'a reçu aussi.

This thread makes me think of one the most beautiful places on earth, Glesca.
Once I used to deliver pizza in that area. The only agency in Scotland Street that I can think of is Spectra.

Hi just wanted to thank all for posting about this and in particular Francesco.
I work for Spectra translations and our address is 165-169 Scotland Street.
We have also heard of a similar message sent by someone called Dave Jorden. We heard of the message earlier this week.
