Referring to WLD's scathing remark about songs of ploughmen: Assuming as I do that WLD is a Scottish person (From Wee..., never heard another Celt use it), wasn't Scotland's national poet, an Anglo-Norman called Burns, actually of that profession?

I readily admit that there are some great Scots songs, even if some are about total arseholes like Stuart kings. And Stuart Pretenders.

I do have a smile on my face as I type this. The English and the Scots are of course closely related, both being mostly Anglo-Saxon.
Bet you.
