there's a lot of one or two man bands in the uk, and that's great; but the cost and bureaucracy of having an apprentice is insane.
for a lot of them it isn't worth the hassle to hire staff, even though they have the work to keep them employed.

Could be ? Maybe ? 'Michigan Fever' is the story of Scottish families who left their farms in southwestern Scotland and came directly to a section of southeastern Michigan in the eighteenth century.

Did they get snowed in during the winter, or was it the mosquitoes during the summer making them sick. There are a bunch of Scottish named towns
there

not until you said 1800's and Scottish. Sounded like you was trying to start ****.
We have a term cabin fever.

Cabin fever is a claustrophobic reaction to being cooped up for a long period of time. Nothing to do with 'Michigan Fever' at all.
