    On the spot market research!

    For anyone who may be interested .... as I got off the bus today at the beginning of town (not Kilted/Cilted, I'm afraid), low and behold there was a chap about 30ish coming out of one shop and heading up one of the main shopping streets in a St Davids tartan .. it was a wool one ... he had an ordinary light greyish shirt, sporran, belt, green hose n flashes and walking boots. I have'nt seen a Cilt being worn in town now for quite a while, apart from when its been me. I
    I instantly had the thought to do some market research and abandon my trip into a Sainsbury's central and follow a little behind this cilted crusader and observe peoples reaction. The fact that it is half term holidays for the schools, town is absolutely heaving with all ages.
    After about 300yds I stopped because nobody was paying him any notice. I went back then n did my shopping.
    Just thought I let you know for interest sake.

    That's pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure if he was walking around where I lived, you could see everyone turning their heads to stare. x_x

    I haven't been into Cardiff since St David's Day when there were, of course, a few cilts around.

    Nice to know there has been a cilt sighting since.
