Help - I am scared

[Pleater]

General sitting in a chair I can do. It's the climbing up into my truck cab and twisting to the right while keeping the pleats under me and straight that's the challenge. When my back is on the fritz, it's even worse. Somebody needs to invent a kilt horn (like a shoe horn) for such circumstances.

Twisting to the right - ah well you'll just have to alter the rules and drive on the left like sensible folk who don't want to crease their pleats.

Or you could try a reverse Kingussie style - then you've got at least half a chance of having half a kilt straight.

You might try spreading a square of silk on the seat - then as you get in it should slide around on the seat, rather than the seat hold onto your pleats - or even a silk scarf or a length of cire material wrapped around so as to hold the peats down and in place as you glide over the seat and into place. As long as you remember to loosen it so you can leave it in the cab rather than have it trailing behind you.....

If you have a large silk square you can wrap it around you before you get in to the car/truck. As you get in the silk will hold your pleats in place and the silk will allow some slide as youmove during driving.

Steve you mentioned that you wore kilts to school.Was that here in the USA?

I don't know how old you are,but if I had showed up wearing a kilt at any school I attended I probibly would have been sent home an suspended.
I attended a Catholic private school which probibly would have been less tolerate than a public,but even so,I don't think the publics would have allowed it either.

Reminds me of the high school kid that just recently was sent home from a prom.

Clever advice, thanks! But, the valour-like fabric surface of the seat precludes the desired affect with the silk.

When I was in the UK in 2003, I hired a car and drove everywhere. Being a lefty I had no problem adjusting to the left side of the road. Before the trip, I also memorized all the road signs.

When I got on the plane from Houston to Newark, I got good advice from a traveler from England. He said one thing, "When you get in the roundabout, remember to give way to your right." I said, fine and thanked him. When I got on the plane from Newark to Glasgow, I got another one good piece of advice from the Scotswoman sitting next to me. She said, "When you get into the roundabout, remember to give way to your right."

Getting the same piece of advice made me remember it. But, I had to learn by trial and error that you also have to get immediately into the correct lane so that the the roundabout will spit you out onto the correct road.
