The song is the sort of tartan-clad chauvinism that Glasgow children grow up knowing - that and Coutler's Candy and hurling jelly pieces, so it could have been worse.

Had I written "chauvinisam" it would indeed have been a spelling mistake. However I did not. I notice however that I made a typo when writing Coulter's Candy and at last comprehend what Jack Campin is on about. No, it is not how June Tabor told me to spell it. We absolutely did not mention it.

I think it was established rather a long time ago that the tune of Roses for BPC is quite OK when played by a marching band but the words are crap. Jazzer could have chosen better.

The guest johnp wrote some time ago: "Show of hands are talented musicians who produce some interesting material". He took a somewhat unheathy interest in MLC (and even more alarmingly in Eugene Terreblanche) and can't spell "harassment".
