Given the question on the blog, I'm reminded of an anecdote my good pal, Rev Ian Glover, told me recently. When doing archival work in Edinburgh, he came across one Scottish minister (whether 18th or 19th century, I cannot remember) who had refused to participate in a day of prayer and thanksgiving because he had `nothing to be thankful for.' Now, if he'd been one of Del's countrymen, I could understand his problem; but this ungrateful wretch was Scottish, for goodness sake!
