    Haha no like the English to plunder and steal what is not their own.
    Done it for years.
    And Helen haggis is wonderful especially if bought from a butcher’s rather than the mass produced rubbish sold in supermarkets.

    No I’m a lager drinker. Carling when darn sarf.
    I used to drink heavy but gave me hangovers.

    Fresh Haggis is best

    He was a poet and also a bit of a shagger.
    But more importantly he was a drunk.
    So quite a normal guy.

    I like haggis, good to know it’s an English dish. I should have known.

    what I miss most though is savoury duck, not seen that for ages. Tips for butchers selling a good savoury duck appreciated. Used to get ours from wagstaff’s in Swinton. He’s retired now and took his recipe with him ( I did ask)

    I’ve never understood the fascination of Burns.
    All this burns supper nonsense.
    It’s only an excuse to have a good tea and and a piss up which I can do any day of the week not just on January 25.
