A sudden call to stool?

[Mr Veritas]

No,even my Scots Son in Law cannot understand most of it.
Rabbir Burns didn't do badly considering he was an English collaborator (he was a Customs & Excise man) something the Scots prefer to forget.
Some National hero!

[Harry-Wragg]

I'm sure you all understand 'A Parcel Of Rogues In A Nation'

[craft1948]

Why did you need a translator for the yorkie - could you not understand the long words he used?

Only poetry I understand is Pam Ayres.
