It was actually Ian C Cameron – “my Colin, you’re getting fat”, as he ticks off the Cameronian Rant and John Morrison of Assynt House, to be played twice over. “You’ll be a wee bit thinner by the time you finish that”.

Oooh, that’s very clever! It had to have been me. M.

PS. I was thinking about judges being “clever” to competitors and recall at Oban and the time DR MacLennan asked you to play Cameronian Rant twice through – do you recall what he said, too? ;-+
