From that angle, you look like a giant!
Thanks HeathBar, I don't hear that very often!
My Danish brother-in-law is 6'8", and he's the smallest of his his brothers and sisters. Yes, you heard right, and sisters. That is one tall lady.
5'6" is TINY here.
Oddly enough it wasn't out of the ordinary in Scotland. I read a theory once about the huge Scottish losses in WW1. Soldiers had to be at least 5'4" - and the gene pool just took a long time to recupurate. Before that, Scots were the tallest nationality in Europe.
I have readjusted the kilt... ...it's not squint, that's the SWAY (hey hey).
Took the dog for a walk earlier on, my first German public outing (apart from my wedding) with kilt. Brilliant! It felt so good and the kilt moves like a dream. I'm converted (as if I ever needed to be).
BTW, it is an odd kilt (to me at least) since it only has straps on one side. The inner apron is held on by the fit, not by a second strap. Sits fine though.
Cheers
