    And a bit more pudgy. Most are off by 2-3 inches on the widest measurement.

    0kay fine. I have no clue what an SaaS company is or how churn became a bad word. It still means what it means to me - to mix up, to stir up.... And, I doubt too many others of this rabble know what an SaaS company is either. So gonna leave it and not bother a mod to change it. Thanks for the education though... Anyone who is offended by it isn't offended by my choice of words, but rather their expectation that I would somehow know of this high tech usage and new meaning.

    An interesting concept but I have "only" bought 10 so far and did so with a view to keeping them (or wearing them out). I picked each one because they were my clan tartans, or because I really liked them, some were expensive and some very cheap, but they all met a want (I hesitate to say need). While they still fit or have the potential to expand with my waistline, I would hate to sell any of them.
    They generally get worn but I have not plucked up courage to set off around Ireland in Loud McLeod yet.

    With the imminent arrival of the "Australian", I'll be at 40 Kilts, not counting the half dozen I've given away to enthusiastic and deserving folk. All my kilts get worn at some point, but I have noticed that with that many, some are worn more frequently than others and there are kilts in my collection that I'm not as enthused about as when I first got them.

    To date I've been of the mind that it's as much about the having as in the wearing but I think Ron has a point, it's a shame to leave them hanging rather than swishing. I think it may be time for a cull in my wardrobe too. Bring it down to a non cage rattling assembly of Family and universals.

    Ron, if only you where the same size as me! I'd snap your hand off for the Dutch Friendship and the Antarctic. Oh well. Hope they go to a good home!

    This thread is about churning kilts in general.

    Thanks.

    RON:
    Sorry for any misunderstanding. As so as I saw churn it raised my blood pressure. In my industry churn is a measure of a rate of existing customers who stop subscribing (a measure of attrition). Big challenge where I work in the months ahead and impacts my position and remuneration. No miscommunication intended.
