    If that's correct, the next time they ask, "Are you from Scotland?", look the doorman/bouncer dead in the eye and say, "Yes. Yes I am."
    This one! Do this one!

    to take Phogfan86's 'Yes, Yes I am" one step further, just respond with 2 words: AYE LADDIE in your worst scottish burr and walk right in.

    BTW... I don't mean any disrespect to anyone with a Scottish Accent... it's meant to subtly point out what a stupid policy it is.

    That is exactly why I suggested finding a local kiltmaker to make the guy his next kilt. "Why yes, I am in fact from this kilt's country of origin."

    Got an email back from the operations manager. He apologised for the lapse in judgment by their staff and agree that the kilt is appropriate for any of their clubs. Gave a polite email in return. Matter closed.

    That's good to hear. Happy endings are nice.

    Looks like my sign won't get made after all! ;-)

    Carry on kilted, then.
