...Sadly, there were no neeps - must be a Canadian shortage of swedes (or are they turnips?).

Turnips, turneeps, neeps. Swedes are an abomination to a Scotsman with haggis in inducing behavior similar to how a Cornishman reacts to Cornish pasties with carrots in...

Of course there's no accounting for the average Jock's lack of understanding when it comes to the English language, they will always beg to differ.

Why the fcuk do turnips need wrapping individually in plastic? Which reminds me to be angry about a supermarket here that buys lettuce from Spain, that gets flown to Holland to get a plastic bag and then flown to Dubai. Utter madness, no wonder the planet is fcuked

Exactly... only some Scots agree too > http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle ... -or-turnip
Me, however, I'll stick with my stereotyping thank you, even if it does result in being branded Insanoish!

Aye, too true.
But to answer your first queation - so that Enoch can show me a picture of neeps and swedes looking exactly the same as each other, although obviously they aren't coz one's a swede and the other's a neep.

We're also assuming Tesco know the difference and aren't just sticking different labels on them to sell some of them for more

Of course I know the answer, the problem lies in the fact that there is more than one answer. But I quite clearly stated whose viewpoint I was delivering the Great Neep Conundrum from, which was your stereotypical Scotsman. So yes I'll wear the McSpot tartan and tell you quite plainly that a neep ain't a swede.

Thank you all for the clarifications which leave me just where I was.

I went to a Burns Night Supper

Whereas LeverEnd's Caledonian brother had nipped out to his local take-away, only to find that local authority health inspectors had visited prior.
