Nice one, Gav, but chips and beans? Whatever happened to the neeps and tatties?
I still haven't tried Ballard's haggis - must give it a go :)

I thought that was traditional in Scotland ::) Every chip shop I've been in up there serves them....
It was going to be neeps and tatties but the bathroom radiator leaking through the kitchen ceiling put the blocks on the full biffta. :( Top haggis though. Probably nicest I've had so far.

Well the missus asked for one but then mentioned some lemonade. I kindly pointed her to the bottle of Bells in the back of the cupboard. The Aberlour is very nice.
Aye .. And here (https://picasaweb.google.com/Chaa006/Burns2015?authkey=Gv1sRgCJfr-vXB9v3lggE#6108339851051857362)'s how we celebrated Burns' Night in Horsmonden this year. Address to the Haggis starts at 02:20, after an (edited) set by Songs 4 Horsmonden.
(Gav : We also served Aberlour; complementary bottles on every table).

I'll watch that tomorrow, Gav, as wife is sleeping but we get Burns' Day off tomorrow :)
You on the autocue Phil? impressed I can only remember 2 lines which I use in a joke involving Price Charles. :)
No, all done from memory, Gav; the first year I read it, the second year I used the script as a backup in case memory failed, and now it just comes naturally without effort.

That's great, Phil - no idea what you're talking about but still very enjoyable :)
