I would like to apologise for my fellow Edinburger's preoccupation with looking up skirts. Today is, indeed exceptionally windy, but he has a history of this sort of thing and has made the local papers several times. Really, this is no excuse and he should have been concentrating on traffic.

These three 'women', were they carrying funny looking handbags with big pipes sticking out of them?

Have you ever felt the weight of tartan? The likelihood of a kilt being lifted in the same manner as a floaty dress is reasuringly low.
Of course, when wearing a kilt, the liklihood of it being lifted by almost every woman you meet is very high.

Very true. When I've been wearing my kilt and the women ask @that@ question (re: undercrackers), I always ask the same thing of them. A few have been quite offended - double standards no less.time flies like an arrow

I cannot describe to you how sucessful a tool for pulling women the kilt is. Not just in scotland etiher. wear a kilt anywhere in the world and you will be mobbed by women asking fur a "keek up yer kilt".

Quality WOULD be guaranteed if they looked up MY kilt

As an extra check say the following out loud...
A guy goes into a bakers, points at an item and asks the girl behind the counter “Is that a doughnut or a meringue?”
And she says “No you’re right, it’s a doughnut”
If done correctly, this should be funny. If not, then your accent needs more work. Or I need better jokes.

This leads naturally to the joke referring to McDonalds and a quarterpounder, but I'm going to resist the temptation of posting it (as it's even worse than my last effort).time flies like an arrow

Being 3/4 Irish I have a legitimate (ish) excuse to wear a Tartan. Had a choice of two for the wedding County Wicklow or County Cork - picked the County Cork one 'cos it was me Mums side.

I always thought that Prince Albert invented something completely different and of a more, ahem!, personal nature :oops:
Can't imagine that the two would go together particularly well :shock:time flies like an arrow

they are recorded as far back as the 15 th century, prince Albert re-popularised them after they had been banned, I think sir Walter Scott had something to do with this as well but I could be wrong!0

Perfectly clear instructions for the whole procedure. Anyone that can't understand shouldn't be wearing a kilt in the first place.
