I'll be leaving soon and look forward to seeing as many X-markers as can make it at the Elephant and Castle this evening.

**McMurdo** · 15th August 09, 06:32 AM

Safe trip up, we'll see you tonight.

**McMurdo** · 15th August 09, 02:44 PM

Just going to bump this one up hoping some others will make their way down to The Elephant and Castle at 212 King St. West.

Just a public thanks to McMurdo and his lovely wife Katherine for showing me a good time in Toronto. We had a great time at the Elephant and Castle, and then on Sunday they took me up to Burnett and Struth to look at kilts and tartan. I had a really good time in Toronto!

Jock,

I had a Talisker in your honour while in Toronto - and then I had one for me!

What! you didn't purchase or order any, Bill?

**McMurdo** · 18th August 09, 05:58 PM

We also went into the Scottish Company for a bit, I'm telling ya going into two tartan shops in one day with your wife saying no don't buy anything is tough.

Mael,

It's under consideration! They are offering a casual in the same tartan of my new double-box Elliot that has recently been seen in posts by you and McMurdo. I like the tartan, and I wouldn't mind having it in a casual - but I keep asking myself do I need two kilts in the same tartan. As for another tartan, so far none of their "sale" casuals are in a tartan with which I have a connection of some sort - though the Maple Leaf is also very tempting!

Its a simple case of too many tartans and not enough funds.
