'Ow Do
I'm a mate of English Bloke and he got me on this site and wearing a kilt. I'm English too, although I'm a proper English Bloke unlike English Bloke who's not an English Bloke at all: he's actually an African Bloke. English by blood, African by birth.
One of my grandparents was a Bradley, which means he was either from Norfolk or of Irish/Scots descent. But that's as far as my tenuous Celtic roots go. That and having read Kidnapped when I was little and liking Runrig - a bit.
Any road. I got dragooned into buying a kilt during a very tired and emotional post Christmas sesh. In fact, I didn't realise I'd done it until my next door neighbour brought the parcel round to my house a week later. If you want the full story, the Bloke who is arguably English posted it some time back. Pictures are here .
Looking forwards to joining in on XMTS as I've been following your fora for a while.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Hello and a warm from Boston, Massaachusetts, U.S.A.
The legend of this kilted board is English, and has way more kilts than I do.
It is the proper place to be.
Cheers mate
