Hi Hamish,
No I wasn't ordering a kilt mainly because I can't afford another one just yet.
The story is that I have been exploring the possibility of moving to Edinburgh/Scotland for some time and was there on a kind of fact finding mission. Strangley enough the RCN Scotland was holding a job rally opposite our appartment, mainly targetting students though.
Having met Howie initially at the clothes show at the NEC I met up with him whilst in Edinburgh in Jan to order a kilt for my birthday, (couldn't decide which one so my wife suggested I have 2. I love that woman!).
I think the next kilt from TFCK will be for my wife, but I'm not going to let that young pup measure her for it. He's too personable for his own good.
Oh if you're interested she wants a mini kilt in charcoal grey with fuschia pink pinstripes, the same in fact as Vernon Kay the TV presenter (except his wont be a mini, at least I hope not).
Sorry to go on but I've found myself chuckling as I type, the reason is up until three months ago I wouldn't have known what fuschia pink was never mind looked like, as long as clothes covered me I didn't care what they were made of or looked like or anything else and now I find myself thinking 'mmm that would look good with the black kilt,' and when I'm wearing one I am much more aware of my stance, surroundings and...well everything really.
It's an exciting new world I find myself in, great can't wait to enjoy it!!! 8)
Cheers Rhino
