A Burns night story to warm the cockles...

A while ago were Ione and I were talking about Burns Night. Discussing the history, and the food that's eaten on this Scottish celebration.

While walking to the car our conversation went like this...(I can't remember who said what so bear that in mind)

"What was Burns first name?"
"Robert/Robbie" came the reply...
"I wonder what his surname was?"

BOTH-(and in all seriousness) "errrm not sure, Robbie...? Robbie....?"

We then realised that as it was Burns night his surname was probably Burns. At this point we both fell about laughing and couldn't quite believe how stupid we were!
