'Tartan tat kings' hit by princess plaid row

[Phil]

It is with a little trepidation that I post this, another episode in the long running Gold Bros saga.

theres no lows to which these guys will stoop -cashing in on princess Di!!

Seems if there's money to be made they are there. Pretty sad IMO.

Judging by most of the comments it looks like most people wouldn't mind seeing them run out of there. I guess they have their place but stealing is wrong. My guess is that many of the tourists shopping there don't have any clue as to the type of business they run.

Thanks to this site I'm glad I know enough to just walk on by.

As much as I despise the gold bros., what is wrong with cashing in on di. She cashed in on the british general public everyday of her life. I am sure she thought she was going to be canonized before she died.

Try this: Think. Write. Think. Post.

It works wonders.

You have a point, but copying a tartan that was created for charity is a little low.

I was always more sympathetic to his highness Prince Charles. The problem with their marriage was that he is an intellectual and she, alas, was not. Americans have characterised Princess Diana as a kindergarten teacher, but she was a nursery school teacher. In America that would be pre-school, not kindergarten, and she taught pre-school because she lacked academic qualifications such as a degree. There's nothing wrong with not being bright, but IME a big difference in IQ is a problem in a relationship.

Prince Charles wears a kilt, too, although I can see that might not endear him to the Scots. Perhaps when he's eventually king all the English will don kilts!

It would be really nice if we could have one of these conversations without it getting locked down.

I for one don't care about their genealogy or much else that seems to side track these conversations but I DO care about violating the creative rights of others. They do seem to show a pattern of disrespect for the law and the culture that is their livelihood.

Shameful.

Brilliant insight. Nursery school teachers are intellectually inferior. Those without academic qualifications are intellectually inferior. Wearing a kilt makes you a more sympathetic figure. Got it.

Interesting that the kilted intellectual was unable to see that the marriage was doomed to failure due to his bride's intellectual inferiority.

Agreed, agreed and agreed.

I don’t know why Courts of Law, criminal and civil, or commerce and trade regulatory bodies are needed.
Since many(?) don’t want to wait to hear what their findings and rulings are.
