Greetings all,
Thank you all for your suggestions, on and off-line.
At last nights Burns Supper, above the Sea of Galillee and with participation by heavily-accented honoured guests from the Church of Scotland, we were admonished to keep to the tradition, and use the Lowland dialect term: An "aw'fu" of haggisis, with the Speyside-Doric regional add-on of the "l", to make it an aw'ful o' haggises.
Peter's proposal of "Haggi" for the plural had to be righteously rejected on PC grounds, as it smacked too much of an attempt at cultural hegemony by the evil Romano/Hellenic occupationist forces from the far side of the wall (Hadrian's, of course!).
An' bye the bye, in pride of place was a whisky from absent friend, Arty, the boozer's doctor. An old Macallan 12 yo, sherry casked just as it should be. To remind us of what has been lost in the move to that "Fine Oak" stuff.
But anybody got a photo? Willing and able to make one, a la Reuters?
Uncle Ralph
