Ye'll be all having haggis with champit tatties and bashed neeps washed down with a good malt on Friday I hope? (If you mix neeps (swede ) and tatties together you have 'clapshot'.)

Turncoat, I say. He should stick to tripe and onions stewed in milk. That's the stuff for Yorkshiremen. Having said that I couldn't stomach it!

[Maggi Young]

Thankfully, dishes with tripe are not among those passed on by Ian's wonderful Yorkshire Granny... and his Mum would shoot anyone who suggested she even knew of the existence of such things

I was actually younger than James when our family moved to Scotland.

Good old Yorkshire tradition eating a slice of Wensleydale on Christmas cake. Yum Yum!

Nearly missed this one, just catching up with things after a power cut furred up my transistors so to speak (well whatever it was cost me an arm and a leg to put right after 15 minutes work by a chap who knows about these things).

So, is there any other way to eat Christmas cake??

Ah, but come the Revolution you won't qualify for a passport, but they would probably let you back into Yorkshire.

Of course he'll get a passport.... he's the father of Scots born children

And, though I don't know where Vivienne is from.... she has red hair! Automatic qualification, plus the mother of said Scots weans....

Maggi, as the Chinese girl said to the stamp collector: "Philately will get you everywhere".

[Maggi Young]

Okay, I'll confess, Anthony.... since you are slighter older than I, I thought it would make us BOTH look good if I stuck with the "young" tag.

Vivienne is from the Scottish borders - her parents were married in Hutton not far from Duns - but the nearest maternity hospital was in Berwick so techincally she was also born in England!
