Are you a hog or a hug? I've always said hogmanay but BBC Scotland insist on saying hugmanay. Just wondered what others call it.:lol:

Yip, every hoose had them. The wee glass with the picture of a piper or scenes of Scotland on them. hey seem to be a thing of the past now. When I started first footan' you had to drink whisky (or sherry for the ladies) or bring your own with you. :( That's why I changed from vodka to whisky ~ everyone would take a dram from me but they could never give me one back! [lol]
