    A Bit of a Reach, If You Ask Me

    Actually, I thought it was commissioned specifically for Mr. Brown, and no one else. If so, than in effect it was his "private" tartan in much the same way that Balmoral tartan is the private tartan of the Royal Family. I think calling it "Brown Family Tartan" is quite a reach... quite a reach, indeed.

    Still, it is a good motion picture.
