Meet great, great grandfather Robert Moffit Tait (yes, the old bearded one at the back) born in Leitholm in the Borders - less than 10 miles from Duns so it's not all bad.

I really hope you haven't got an Auntie Helen from Sutton Coldfield anywhere in your familly history - this could be a real disaster, cousin!

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

Originally, I was relieved in checking that Annan was a long way from Leitholm and though I might have Scots ancestry (1/8 I think) there is little risk of sharing Geoff's blood line (albeit Grandad's Newcastle roots); but now I am fearful that, as a Lichfield boy, with these references to Sutton and Drayton things might be much, much worse.

Cough cough!!!! 
Well it certainly isn't from Rambo.
Having said that my side of the family have taller genes, not the "inbred" short fat and hairy ones that predominate north of the border.
Geoff- have checked my lot and they were originally masons in Stow, Midlothian, some of these then moved down to Langholme in Dumfrieshire and from there some to Liverpool where my connection through my great great grandmother Jeannie Tait commenced. Seems like Stow not too far from your lot so might be worth a look at a gedcom file if you have one.

I meant YOU Dave not me - I'm the short, fat hairy one
Interestingly though, Stow is about 12 miles from me and Langholm about 35 so perhaps me, you and Geoff ARE related. Geoff also used to have wacky hair before he lost the plot and shaved it off
