One receives in this life, Martin, only what is due to one!!!!

Now I see there's another Martin on the list, so it really is time for me to sign on,(after lurking for a while).

Wild Bill, I enjoyed reading your enthusiastic account of the spread of kilt sales, but I think you may be just a wee bit too optimistic. The number of kilts sold does not correspond to the number of wearers, since a large proportion go to the same place -- Storrington !

If only that were true, Martin! It is a fact, however, that I currently have two new kilts on order - alas, not from Utilikilts this time. These are from "TFCK" in Edinburgh and "The Highland Store" in London.

Canuck, you are dancing in the wrong place; ALL the country dancers here have kilts and wear them (did you know the French had taken to SCD?).

Hmmmn. I pondered that one too. I cannot imagine anything more uncomfortable than SCD in trousers, although I might well have done this myself years ago, when roped in to make up numbers unexpectedly!

I have not contributed anything recently either to Tom's or here, as there does not seem to be much to say about kilt-wearing -- no-one has attacked me in the street or even lifted my hem. I guess people around here are getting used to the idea that there's a weird Scot in their midst.

If you want to know any more, look at:

Martin, do not get too upset by the title awarded to you here. I experienced the same sensation of shock and disbelief when I logged in about ten days ago! Already I am a "Kilted Member", but I guess you and I are going to have to wait to be treated with the respect we have been accustomed to elsewhere!

Oh! I'm sorry! WELCOME, by the way.....

Take care,
Ham.
