    An interesting interview with Howie Nicholsby

    Take a look at this video. The interviewer is a maniac but Howie comes over rather well, I think. I am meeting with him tomorrow - to collect one kilt and to order another!

    Thankee, Hamish! I think Howie did a grand job of explaining things.

    Great vid, Hamish. I agree with your assessment of the host, he's a bit odd. I did find the reactions of the older women interesting. I've never worn a non-tartan kilt, but I never would have anticipated it'd generate that kind of negativity.

    I enjoyed the vid. The host wasn't too bad. He was just trying to keep it light, I thought. Too bad he didn't know either the original, or updated "Hamish". What exposure that would have been.

    The interviewer appeared to be Welsh; I thought he'd have known better.
    Nice to see him speaking to the public in Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow though.

    Too bad. I can't get it to play, although I do get to the site.

    Very good to see, thanks for the link. The link doesn't seem to work in FireFox, but if you open it in IE it should play

    Thanks for the link Ham. I enjoyed hearing Howies voice. I've seen his picture before but I think that's the first time I've heard him. In light of the incident in Dumfries it was particularly good to hear his assertion that other nationalities should be welcome to wear kilts.

    Good video, thank you Hamish. I think Howie presented himself and his product very well.

    I liked his thoughts on the ghillie shirts
