Also on the programme, Scottish cuisine fights back after we were ranked a lowly 88th in the world. Proud Englishman Gregg Wallace of Masterchef leaps to our defence.

He says it’s one of the things we can all do to help ease pressures on the NHS.  So is it time to bring back facemasks … Have you started wearing one again, or perhaps you never stopped? Are you seeing more people wearing them out and about?
