    Angus meat pies ad

    AKA Scotsmen On The Worksite.

    Those with access to Facebook should be able to enjoy this:

    Just click to see the ad. I saw this via another route because I don't have FB access myself, so I can only hope it works. If not, Google for the Austrailian ad as in the title of this thread.

    Y'see, that's why I have trouble accepting that kilts were ever actually worn shorter than knee length.

    Good ad. Clearly perpetuates the idea that we are regimental under our kilts. Keep the mystery alive!

    I was in the supermarket the other day, where they were having an in store promotion of the pies and got a dozen of them free cause I was wearing a kilt.
    I also got a lot of "there's the Angus pies man" from a lot of kids who were with their mothers shopping

    Great story! LOVE the image of you in a kilt being followed around the grocers by a giggling rabble of kiddies, all shouting "There's the Pie Man"

    I had a pie floater the other night for dinner... spicy sauce, mushy peas, pie, and a liter of bitters. Mmmmmmmmm. I love when the wife and sprog are away.

    Even though I just ate, I could use a pie floater right now

    Pie floater? I believe that is a delicacy in Adelaide.
    A pint of bitter should go down well with it.

    I liked the Angus ad!

    Pure genius! That’s why I don’t wear my tank to work! The guys in the office sure got a kick out of the video.
