and a warm welcome from Valley Forge, PA. I was just in Vancouver a week ago. Oddly, you're the second newcomer from Vancouver in a week, and not a sign of Thistledown to welcome you. Watch for his posts; he's a moderator of this forum and a Vancouver Scot like you.

Enjoy the "jones" and for your next kilt, there is an awesome kiltmaker in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. --- not too far away from you.

And another great Howdee from North Vancouver. Looking forward to meeting you at Doolin's pub, Granville at Nelson. 1st Thursday in the month. Your first Guiness will be free!

from the Scottish Borders. I was in Vancouver in March of this year, wearing a kilt of course.

A belated "welcome."

I found this thread by searching for "Vancouver Kilt Night."
Just returned from Doolin's where it looks like I was the only kiltie aside from the bartenders and waitresses. It would be nice to connect with others in the Vancouver area, but so far I have only met a grand total of.....{drumroll}...three.
The good news is that, yes, the first pint is free.

Hello sevenoaks..from Victoria BC..

I'm curious about your statement..

"Just because the cat had kittens in the oven,it donna make them pies."

Was that said in the Gaelic ?

" I wore a kilt until I was 5 years old and then was forced to ware short pants when I started school. My parents immigrated to Canada when I was 9 years old. I spoke Gaelic until I started school and but was caned if I was caught speaking Gaelic, with the result I have forgotten the language"

Seems a bit odd to me to be able to wear a kilt until you were 5 years old ?

Then you were caned for speaking the Gaelic..at 5 years old..by whom ??' and in a north of England school ??

I reckon I must be about the same age as you are and when I was 5 years old at school, I spake common Dundonese..but was niver caned for it.

Are you saying that as a bairn o' 5 years a teacher caned you ?

sevenoaks..isn't that in Kent..?

Welcome..
