    Quite a surprise

    We have all had little rewards for being out whilst Cilted/Kilted ... free this n that. That has'nt happened to me in many many years until yesterday. Walked into one of the several wetherspoons pubs in the city centre. No sooner that I am stood at the bar waiting to be served when there is a tap on my shoulder. Theres this guy who says its great to see a cilt/kilt and I would like to buy you a beer. I tried to say there is no need, as one does does, but he insisted and did so, then returned to a table where he was with several other guys and their wives/girlfriends. There was no time for conversation it all happened fast. He had a plain accent, cant be sure where he be from. Anyhow there is a fab beer festival being run in all Wetherspoons pubs at the moment, so I had a free pint of Pendle Witches Brew. An old favourite of mine but rarely seen here in Wales. It from up Northern England. After I drank it I waved at their table in acknowledgement of thanks, they all waved, and I left.
    Know nothing about them or seen them before ... it seems the cilt/kilt dont need words. A most interesting day ...

    The young guys in kilts, get the girls; us old guys in kilts, get a free scotch or beer. I'm perfectly happy with that arrangement!

    Which means that ideally, at some point, we kilted guys are both A) young enough to get the girls AND B) old enough to have a pint purchased for us

    Although I fear the ACTUAL case is probably A) too old for the girl AND B) too young to get the pint bought

    I have to be happy with it...at least that's what my wife tells me.
    The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.
