    Thanks for the heads up. Next time I'm in Pardubice, I'll skirt the shopping centers.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Choices.....

    A. Boycott the games ( this includes the kilted athletes...)
    B. Make a speech or public statement to the press (one of the athletes, kilted preferable)
    C. The commonwealth games should send a letter to the head of the country in protest.
    D. Do nothing.......Kilt On.

    This is a disgrace, especially since the games are being hosted locally.....

    Interesting. I will be watching to see how this turns out, if anything happens at the games at all. BUT honestly, you can't blame the whole country or thier government because of the business owner's pigheadedness.

    It's too bad the shopping centre's name wasn't included in the article. We could start a letter writing campaign.

    As the country involved in this article, the Czech Republic, has absolutely nothing to do with the Commonwealth Games, I cannot see anything being done. Other than another journalist linking the fact that the Scottish team male members are wearing kilts, and any other kilt story that happens in the world during these Commonwealth Games.

    I don't see the connection to the Commonwealth Games.
    The incident happened at a shopping centre in Pardubice, in the north-east of the Czech Republic.
    The Czech Republic is not part of the Commonwealth.

    P.S.
    Someone from a land down under wrote much faster than I did.
