  Well there's nothing stopping someone from setting up a Shakespeare Night! It was friends of Burns who got together after his death to remember him and it just carried on and evolved from there!

  Cos Scotland has only produced one half decent poet, whereas England has Shakespear, Keats, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Milton...

  I can't claim that as mine, Vosene, I was just using it as an example of the wonderful wordsmiths we have in our beautiful country.

  The River Forth is big and wide,
  but no as wide as the River Clyde..
  ..cos it's wider.

  Euan McTeagle doesn't get enough credit as Scots poets go.

  Aye, but what're you having on your supper? Salt and vinegar or salt and sauce? ;-)
