Didn't I hear about a group of amazon women that kilt check and make sure...

Ah, the Men in Black Watch. 
I'm tempted from time to time to shift through my fuzzy memories of high school shop class, and see if I can remember how to design and cast a pewter design ... resize McMurdo's design to the correct dimensions, change the name, cast it.
Then I stop and think, "What would I melt down?"

Oh, and another suggestion for kilt police... only cute girls and polite old ladies should wear "kilt inspector" shirts. There has been an abundance of kilt inspector shirts worn by women who will not be inspecting my kilt. Violators be warned.
An example of good practice: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/k...x.html?t=20441

Sorry again. Just re-read the regs. It's kilt inspectors who don't have balls. Kilt police are allowed to dance. (see regs for full details)

The Polis tend to do their work openly the nasty beggers are the Scottish Dress Standard Enforcement Agency (SDSEA)
These people don't wear badges and they don't usually carry ID. They tend to have a very narrow view of the 'kilt regulations' and can usually be identified when they bounce up and point out to you that only pipers should wear hair sporrans or that laces on the ghillie brogues should be done up at the front or my personal favourite, that flashes must be worn on the side of legs and so on...
In the latter case I normally say something along the lines of:
"Damn, the Regiment must have got it wrong, I'll call the Colonel and tell him that we should change our dress because its wrong and we all look silly."
Although I must admit if I saw someone who looked like he was breaking the conventions from ignorance I might try and discreetly steer him in the right direction.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.

Gentlemen I give you:
KILT WATCH
Like Neibourhood Watch but for kilties.
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
