Good story Al. "kilted at work" is one of my favourite topics.

I had to visit a workshop I've not been to before yesterday.
My mission was to signwrite an underground mining drill rig.

I walked in, did the work and walked out, not a comment, and this was a true "blokey" workshop!

I found the mechanics who were working around the rig quite friendly, one bearded, alternative type eyed me off, he was likely thinking that this was a new slant on "alternative"

I see each job as one more promotion of the kilt as a viable, daily garment.
