(2,560 posts)23. Do you mean Eric Bogle, the well known Australian folk singer????
LOL. I've been to a few of Eric's concerts. I knew he was Scottish born (like myself) and emigrated to Oz in the late 60s. My family left in '61. Eric's big number in Oz was and is "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda".
Cilla and Artie??? I love them
Living in The Netherlands, I go back to Scotland fairly often. So I keep in touch with my cultural roots. I still support my childhood football (soccer) team, Clyde. They have the distinction of ending in last place in the (then) Scottish Division1 (and therefore being relegated to Division 2), finishing bottom of that division the next year and then finishing bottom of Division 3. All in 3 seasons.
The hardest part about learning Dutch is to get the buggers to speak it to you. I've had conversations wherein I spoke Dutch, but the Dutchie I was speaking to insisted on speaking in English!!
