Greetings, may the Bard's light shine on you this very special day. A survey to report and a reminder.
May your haggis never get cold. Regards, the other Ron
1. A survey on how you perceive yourself as a Scot. Ian C. MacLeod checked this out for authenticity and all seems to be as outlined.
Elizabeth Carnegie is a researcher based at Sheffield University who is conducting a survey on Scots around the world. You can participate by going to the website
(http://www.emits.group.shef.ac.uk/canada/) s
The survey format is easy enough to follow. The difficulty arises when you realize that you must now spell out what you have always taken for granted, that is, the influence of your heritage on your behaviour (if indeed, there is any impact). Ian put the matter well in correspondence with Elizabeth Carnegie when he wrote that he is a 5th generation Canadian with 100% Scottish ancestry who celebrates his heritage, but is completely Canadian – a thought I share although, in my case, my parents were the immigrants.
2. A reminder from Todd McWong about the Gung Haggis Fat Choy Chinese- Scots-Canadian deep fry Robbie Burns and lettuce rap the 10-course Haggis dinner on January 27th at the Floata Seafood Restaurant 180 Keefer Street, Vancouver.
