Thanks for the warning - I keep getting information about such things, but so much that I tend to delete it en masse. There are downsides to one's speciality being known to electronic sources of information which must inconvenience any number of electrons. There is probably a message about it in the in box at the moment.

Yes Uncle Remus, there is! There is a little programme called Hola |( available at Hola.org) that makes it appear as if you computer is somewhere it's not. In this case, choose the UK and go to the BBC website and you can watch the programme...not live ... but for for 7 days following broadcast.

It's a wonderful application that I use a lot.

Best,

There is just a tiny clip at the end of the last episode, of someone counting pleats.

I've just watched the sewing bee kilt programming. It was their major task of the weekend, they were given only 7 1/2 hours to make a kilt!!
Two chose to do ladies kilts, a couple were true traditional kilts and some were denim type (with out pockets)
Not surprisingly some were disasters the most common failing appeared to be not fitting the reinforcement to the inside of the kilt.
The male sewing expert (saville row) appeared to be wearing a Saxon jacket, and his kilt at the bottom of his knee which is where he said he wanted to see it!! Obviously a expert on sewing but not on kilts!!
Right those who don't want to know the best look away now!





The British army man a lieutenant colonel!! completed a traditional kilt which from what I could see was darn near perfect!! Culodden tartan.
