She doesn't even need her friend's co-worker's third cousin's friend to tell her the facts. She just KNOWS.She's a good person and I love her, but I've learned to just nod and agree with everything she says.


I mentioned to her last night that I would be making a kilt for a friend. That it would be the Black Watch tartan.

'Doesn't he know that the Black Watch tartan is copyrighted by the Black Watch regiment and it's illegal for anyone else to wear it?'

Uhm... sure. Yeah.



Later that same night. I was having a bit of a laugh at the Kilt Do's and Don'ts thread while she was visiting. Came upon a picture of kilt trousers. (Which were in The Royal Stuart in any case.)
She pipes up with:
'They got sued for that, you know. Because they made some in the Black Watch.'


It seems that I keep doing all these dreadful, illegal things.
I'm going to get arrested by the kilt police any minute and then sued by both the Black Watch regiment and the Lord Lyon.
What to do!?

If only Matt wasn't American I'm sure he could help.
It's best not to, shall we say "mis-quote" your other sister when she is a member of this board.
