I carry my tambourine in a Fisher and Donaldson Bag

My brother told me a funny story last night when I had my annual catch up with the clan call with his family.

He went to school at Bellbaxter High School in Cupar, Fife with the Proclaimers, who are from Auchtermuchty, just up the road. Apparently they were major nerds, shy and retiring throughout their school career and only blossomed later in life.

Duncan used to deliver for Fisher and Donaldson, the famous baker in that part of the world. Apparently the Proclaimers always carry their tambourine in a Fisher and Donaldson plastic carry bag and their dad pops into the shop every so often to pick up a new supply. Not sure if they are superstitious, homesick or just imagine it is full of pies.

The owner loves the free publicity.

So now you know.

Fisher and Donaldson make the best cakes ever - Chocolate Violets - any chance to pop into their wee shop in Whitehall Street (I think) in Dundee is never missed!
