Oh do come along GUEST Cj - you did write this didn't you - "Jim, not meaning to have a go at MacColl, I know you hold him dear. But, as a Scotsman, I found and still find his recorded singing voice comical - like a Geography teacher called in at short notice to play a Scottish policeman in a community play." - you either meant it or you didn't. No need for back peddling now. The information in my post is up there for refutation.
