    I think Arlen is using this whole tartan confusion as a way to hide the fact that he needs to work on his fake Scottish accent.
    You can't full us Americans, we've all seen the movies and know how real Scots sound!!
    We all know that"real Scots" sound like Mel Gibson in Braveheart

    Well do we really actually know that Arlen is Scottish? After all he dosn't sound like Pour1Malt.

    To Grant or not to Grant

    This argument sounds like the one of "Mc" and "Mac" preface to ones name. There are those that will tell you that "Mc" is Irish and "Mac" Scottish. In may ways there is many similarities. the annoying thing is when someone tells you with all certainty where your ancestors came from. I inform them and then ignore them.

    This is one of my pet peeves, and I think the perpetrators are belong to the same police force as Arlen's tartan lady. Your advice is apt.

    Oh No! You're on to me.
    I obviously didn't say 'Och aye the noo' often enough. Drat.


    It's Idaho I'll be living in this time, though I stayed in Oregon last time I lived in the states.
    I find that everyone out west is pretty much polite and friendly.


    That said, my airport issues are usually with American ladies who get a little too friendly, or German ladies who get wayyyyyyy, wayyyyy too friendly.

    I get the good experience of American guys buying me Whisky in the airport bars to balance it out.

    They're usually extra impressed if you wear a kilt AND read the Outlander books.
