    Good to know that Welsh tartans are being recognised in the Capital!

    Will have to wear my Roberts down there shortly!

    It's nice when people recognized and appreciate your kilt for what it is rather than making the clever quips that we've all come to know and love.

    A couple of years ago, I wore one of my kilts to a menswear shop and had no less than three staff (two of them ladies) looking after me.... much to the frustration of other customers who were waiting to be served. I never get that kind of service wearing trousers.

    Sounds like a splendid day in town, Derek, and the brown shirt looks great with the cilt.

    Loo is "ty bach" (literally "little house") bathroom is "ystafell ymolchi" but in many houses in Wales the loo is in the bathroom anyway so "ty bach" is more likely to be used in any case.

    Derek,

    An interesting day indeed. It's alright for you youngsters. Unfortunately, it has been a very long time since anyone asked about, or commented upon, my kilts. I guess people, especially the young, don't fancy chatting-up old gits!!

    By the way, those two new outfits are the best co-ordinated I have seen you in yet. Congratulations, you look great!

    It is a great look. How many of those, who love the look of the Converse, remember the mean blisters they could produce in one practice of running the lines? I forgot cardboard cutouts don't run. O'Neille
