who knows bart       i think this  sanderson is from , just outside edinburgh , but in mid lothian , hes a farmer, and an excellent pigeon fancier and if im right, i think he has won nantes snfc twice and i think second as well, so , some flier and a real gentleman , but could be related [lots of national positions to his name anyway ]
