Thane of Cawdor Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Do folk remember the god-awful episodes of Off the Ball when they tried to incorporate Scottish place names in to a song lyric, in the manner of Perry Como's Delaware? I can't recall many of the dreadful attempts to shoe-horn locations in other than Lesmahagow and Killiecrankie, but others may have been less successful in blotting out the memory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
