Yep, I replied, that it was. 'Thats real cool you know' she said. The other girl saying 'lush'. Any how I asked them to point me in the directions of the sweatshirts and if they had any brown cord shirts. Well they both downed tools and took me to every part of the dept, where they showed me the various shirts. They could'nt have been more helpful. I chose the goods, thanked them very much, and they went off to do what they were doing on the racks. I went to the cashier (who was a guy) and paid for everything. The only thing he asked me was if I was going to watch the Rugby on Sat. Wales are playing Australia in the Millenium Stadium. I came out of there and then went for coffee in a Starbucks. The girl behind the counter says 'Luvs the Cilt'. I says 'thanks' and made my order. I had my coffee then went to the young lady to pay for it. All she was saying to me while doing so was that it was going to be a busy day for them as it was a Friday and they were short staffed. I said goodbye and then headed back home. All in all a good Cilted morning.
    Heres the sweatshirt


    And here is the brown shirt ... I now have a 3" brown belt and brown sporran on my Father Christmas list which I have given to Elaine! Fingers crossed.

    Derek,

    I bet you didn't tell them that the shirts were for the cardboard cutout Derek in your kitchen.

    My best regards to you both (and to the cardboard cutout).
