What are yous doing for Thanksgiving tomorrow?
Nothing? What d’you mean nothing?
I know it’s an American thing, but that hasn’t stopped us before, has it?
Our flats are now apartments, our chemists are now pharmacies, our shops are now stores, our chips are now fries.
That’s quite an impressive achievement for such a small country as ours, but we can go one step further. Let’s forget about St. Andrew’s Day (cos we’ve got St. Patrick’s Day for all of that) and replace it with Thanksgiving.
We don’t have to lose our identity completely, though. We could put wee Saltires on the turkey. Or maybe pubs that do Thanksgiving celebrations could put a bit of tartan on their posters. I don’t know. Does it matter?
