FIRST of all, I would like to wish Boris Johnson and his fiancée Carrie a happy Hugmanay and a Guid New Year. I’d like to but I can’t. I might have wished it had they spent the New Year in Sedgefield or Bishop Auckland. But they didn’t. So I can’t.
ALTHOUGH I am a Scot, Glasgow University graduate and multi-linguist, I was slightly surprised but delighted and honoured when asked by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) to be part of their panel to discuss new entries into the 2020 edition.
