The circumstances were they were about 35p each (normally £1.50).

I thought haggis came in a sheeps stomach, not in a tin ?.


Traditionally the 'skin' was a sheep's stomach but these days it tends
to be some an (often non-edible) alternative. The tin stuff is the
ultimate sacrilege ;-) (and I'm not even Scottish).

I used to travel to Edinburgh quite a bit, and would always visit
MacSweens to get a consignment of haggis over the counter.

They showed up well on the airport X-ray - I always thought they
resembled grenades.


I've often thought the security people at airports must see some peculiar
things in luggage.

Senior Management was regularly stopped when she used to fly to Brussels.
Her hair dryer- a small one for traveling- apparently looked like a gun.

A great many yearsa go, my pipe cleaners looked like detonator wires.
