    THIS. Oh, and Panache, the "WWHD" was awesome! Unfortunately, I'm not as coordinated as he is!

    If you refer to your kilt as your “Tank“, “5 yarder“, or “Box pleat“, you might be an X Marker

    If the following words “Tewksbury”, “Newsome”, and “Rab Gordon” conjure images of kilts and knives and not the people who make the them, you might be an X Marker

    If you talk about a Freelander and don‘t mean the Range Rover, you might be an X Marker

    If you see a rubber chicken and immediately think “GRANT!” , you might be an X Marker

    If the image of a whisky glass and Dumfries Scotland are permanently linked in your mind, you might be an X Marker

    If instead of Hector you say “When G Man was a pup”, you might be an X Marker

    If you have a “knockabout kilt”, you might be an X Marker

    If you spend more than 30 minutes a day actively thinking about clothing that you are and will not be wearing that day, you might be an X Marker

    When dressing in the morning if you think “WWHD?” , you might be an X Marker

    (If you got that last joke, rest assured, YOU ARE AN X MARKER!)

    Cheers

    I fit many more of these than I don't (especially the last one), so I must be an X Marker.

    OK I got the last joke, and have even thought that myself on occasion. I guess I belong here.

    Took me a short while to work out WWHD but as I managed it I guess I must qualify!

    The more virulent and terminal form of the malady is when plaid or tartan is not even involved. Panache had the unfortunate experience of witnessing one of my outbreaks upon encountering a fine example of modified Kinguisse pleating style, illustrated below.



    We had our pics taken several times that day at the zoo, some with permission, some without. I like to return the favor ocassionally...
