    I can sort of see why wearing a kilt might equal relaxation/fun stuff/freedom.

    I washed the newest black kilt - 8 yards of darkness, and when hanging it to dry I was thinking of the last time I wore it - the procession and fireworks closing the Sidmouth Folkweek I attended.

    Maybe there is a good reason for keeping kilts special.

    Phew! You had me worried there for a moment!

    I am sorry, in a way Raph., to hear this - but I understand perfectly. I quite liked my pinstripe (trousered) suit existence through most of my working life. It would certainly not have been appropriate to have worn the kilt, although I did when I returned after retiring, to help out in the office at Christmas-time. Of course, then I was just a part-time employee and no longer a Senior Manager meeting with the public. There IS a difference!

    Good Luck (and love to Louise and Nathaniel).
