I believe the powers that be in Philadelphia are not too pleased, to say the least, that Brad Pitt’s potential blockbuster, “World War Z is being filmed here in Scotland.

You’ll have noticed that I’ve been making one or two comments on the blog about the 400th Anniversary of the King James version of the Bible.
