    Cheap Kilts from Lidl

    I popped into Lidl in Hamilton, near Glasgow at lunchtime for a few things and found that they were selling surplus kilts from their January Burns Night sale at the giveaway price of £7.99.
    I found one in my size, a MacKenzie tartan and just had to buy one, really cheap I know and not the greatest of quality but for the more rugged kilting like football and rugby matches, it will do.
    PS. - Just to say I will not be playing football or rugby kilted but only spectating at these matches, some how I don't think a kilt would be the proper attire for such physical sports, but no doubt some X-Markers will have played football or rugby kilted.

    You were fortunate to find one in your size. As you say it will make a good knock about!

    I bought one of them kilts also, they are very cheap looking, but they always
    fly off the shelves.

    Wow... makes me wish I was closer to a Lidl! I used to love shopping there when I lived in Scotland.
