    On 15th May 1999, I wore trousers for the very last time and now, with 59 kilts to my name, I don't own any at all!!

    Ham, to paraphrase a character in a popular American TV show (Adrian Monk), you are going to have to get another kilt, or get rid of one. Fifty-nine just isn't even. To explain this, since you probably haven't seen the show, Monk is an obcessive compulsive detective. Everything has to be even, his foods on a plate can't touch, and he does things like touching each utility pole or each parking meter as he passes by.

    Thanks Jerry,

    You are spot on - I have not heard of 'Adrian Monk' let alone seen the show. However, I am certainly not as compulsive as he obviously is, although I do like to think that things should be neat and tidy, with everything in its place! Foods not touching on a plate? I cannot go along with that one - they haven't yet made a plate large enough for me to try that!

    As for getting another kilt: Oh, yes! You bet!
