    I do indeed, James, and I must congratulate McMurdo on being so very fortunate with his purchase from a somewhat potentially 'dodgey' firm. I have visited their shops in Edinburgh a number of times and have been appalled by the poor quality of their merchandise. As on-the-street retailers they are very much into the 'let-us-catch-the-unsuspecting-tourist' type of business, and I am afraid I would not risk buying from them.

    This PC looks very nice and I am sure it will serve McMurdo well, but I am slightly concerned by the glimpse of white shirt just below the waistcoat. Short jackets of this type really require to be worn with traditional kilts - those with the full 2" or so 'rise'. McM you are absolutely right not to wear a belt, but I am wondering if a plain black cummerbund would be a good idea, in this instance, just to cover that unfortunate eyecatching white area above your kilt's waistband! It would make a big difference, in my 'umble opinion.
