Simply reminding the English male contingent that are travelling up to the Scottish munch, that kilts ARE compulsory.
OK, they're not really, but it'll be fun, and you can then become a member of the 1st Battalion English Skirt Brigade. ( 1 Batt ESB)
If you haven't got a kilt, you can get them on ebay... ( and you could stick it back on ebay afterwards and get some of your money back...)
I trust all you ESB members will be sporting the proper blue and pink tartan of your favourite website...
:lol2:
Aye, I was looking at getting a kilt, till the missus showed me how much they cost. Even if you cut out the expensive Glasgow retailers, and go to the source (usually in a tourist shack up in the Highlands) you're still talking the best part of £300 for a good kilt. Without the trimmings. Alas, until I can splash on such frivolity, it'll be a pair of black trousers and a shirt for muggins. And no clan gatherings either, more's the pity.
Although I have seen some fake ones on eBay (Acrylic not wool) going for about £30. But it's not really a kilt.
Good I was beginning to think I was going to be the only bloke without a kilt on, sorry peeps but I’ll be sticking with my trousers!
Sean, the best place to try is the big kiltmakers on High Street in Edinburgh, if you're there any time. Howie is the guy who started doing the non-tartan varieties. I have to warn you, though, they are fearfully expensive.
Me? I wear the feilidh mhor, or folded plaid usually, so am not going to be wearing one to the munch. Too much hassle to re-doafter the event!
