    Pumping Petrol

    Hell-o all,

    While pumping gas last night, I heard a ladies voice say excuse me sir, what tartan is that? I told her it was Hunting Stewart. Then the voice of a gentleman nearby said hunt no further, my name is Stewart. We all got a good laugh about. Hope that this is more than you should have been there moment.

    No pictures as we were all pumping gas.

    Great story.

    Pumping gas in a kilt can be challenging if its windy out - as it often is in my area. The winds coming under the vehicle can really make the pleats dance.

    Hopefully not too high. Man's gotta really focus on the wind currents when he's pumping gas...

    Thanks for the great story. I've found that I never have to worry about making conversation when I'm wearing a kilt.
