The following letter appeared in the Scottish paper, "The Sunday Post" this weekend - one week after the article featuring me and my kilts appeared in the same journal:

Kilts

Do you think it’s possible to get Englishmen to wear kilts? I reckon if some enterprising Scottish manufacturer were to sell kilts in bright colours with assorted designs of chess-board checks, polka dots, stripes, zig-zags, etc, complete with a bright red sporran, they could really catch on. Perhaps at first for wear in discos/nightclubs and then, as people became bolder, for everyday wear. It’s time to brighten up men’s fashion. Sassenach kilts could be the answer.

If anyone wants to respond to this rather odd suggestion, they should write to:
