Come on Dekkers old chap. We're not allowed to say "the English" or "the Scots", for fear of being racist (your ruling, in your original post). I refuse to allow any of my English or Scottish blood to make me feel any collective responsibility for "Danny Boy", whoever wrote it. I hate it, because I can never make the high note. Do you think this Orac bloke is right, that it was written about Scotland? Seems unlikely to me. I know it's got pipes and glens in it, but I thought this was a general "celtic twilight" overwash on a portrait of Ireland.
