    Well, I think it's a nice enough looking tartan, I would likely wear it to either event. Since "Eah. I can take it or leave it", was my attitude towards the royal wedding anyway, that connection doesn't effect my opinion.

    I posted "take it or leave it".

    There's a fad for grey-scale tartans nowadays, and they're OK for what they are. (They are sort of like viewing a normal tartan on a Black & White television set.)

    This tartan strikes my eye as a bit strange because it's got that one colour overlaid upon a grey-scale tartan... like those advertisements which have a B&W closeup of a model's face, but the eyes are coloured in a bright blue.

    Thanks, Dale-O-Cedars for posting that image. I was still looking for one I have of the couple and the tartan, so you saved me the trouble. (Really must get my pic files organized some day soon!)
