Burns night - Scots only?

Post by Charlie »

OK, this is a windy-uppy, tongue in cheek post :twisted: brought on by a guy on the radio babbling on about Burns night.

He was listing things Scottish to have on Burns night:

'Haggis, I'll have some of that'
'Tatties and neaps - yummy'
'Scotch whiskey of course, I'll have some of that as well'

I thought if someone suggested he wore a kilt, might he have said 'But I'm not Scottish'? In which case, should he be enjoying the things listed above, as they are part of the Scottish tradition?

Charlie (who loves haggis, kilts and tatties & neaps, but doesn't like whiskey and isn't Scottish) - anyone spot the double standard?
If I want to dress like a woman, I'll wear jeans.

I suppose, if one were to celebrate "Burns Night" in 'traditional' style, then one would have to reach into the back of the wardrobe and dig out those breeches (or 'breeks') festering away there! Consumate Sassenach that he was, I cannot see Mr Burns takin' too kindly to being forced to don a Kilt! :shock:

I wore my denim kilt to go shopping because I wanted to, not because of Burns night. It feels great, striding kilted accross the Superstore car park, as if I owned it.
I might just get round to playing a "Burns" (manufacturer) electric guitar for a bit, just because that's the make I have.
Now home and dressed down in the towelling sarong.
Colin.
