The Dreaded 'Neep'
'Globalisation' gets a bad name, in some circles at least, but one of its many unsung benefits is that the new-found ability to buy pumpkins in the global marketplace has freed the Scottish people from celebrating Halloween with the dreaded 'neep'.
Now a 'neep' is a turnip and for readers too young to remember the dreaded days of making a Halloween lantern out of a turnip, here's a hilarious YouTube video from Scot Scran which captures the insanity of these bygone days rather brilliantly.
If you ask me, this mollycoddled generation of younger Scots don't seem to realise - they've never had it so good!
