    Concorde and a Kilt

    http://www.nms.ac.uk/mf-thingstosee.aspx
    Not a very clear picture but there appears to be a large fellow wearing a kilt with boots and scrunched down hose standing with his back to the camera underneath the Concorde airliner in this advertisement.

    It certainly does.

    I agree that it's hard to see but it looks like a wee laddie in short tr**sers to me. The perspective makes him look bigger than he really is.

    I'm going to have to agree with Andrewson.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Ok.....I put on my glasses and looked at it again. It does appear to be a wee lad, overwhelmed by the site of a concorde SST at rest. I have to wear them more often.
    Still, out, standing in my field.
    Never do anything that you would not want to explain to the paramedics.
