Aye Bruce, me wee little haggis - I endorse ye plea with all me 'eart. Vi, I would be first in line to purchase a copy of your reminiscences!! Just tell me where the line starts. I haven't seen Vynette's collection of your stories. Bruce, I believe your story would also be interesting to read but it would have to be very slowly while my poor brain translates what you are saying. Sometimes it reminds me of my first visit to Edinburgh when I didn't understand a word being said while I was in the pub, but love your stories anyway. That is also where I tried haggis and still reserve my judgement on that experience 40 years later - might go with the taties. Dee, the best place to collect those corks is down the road in the Margaret River wine region. I'll help.
