My $300 mistake

[turpin]

All's well that ends well, at least you managed to get a sporran for the occasion, though pricey and possibly illegal. I know one unfortunate fellow who carried his Prince Charlie jacket, waistcoat, ghillie brogues, hose, flashes, sporran etc. to the south of England to attend a wedding then when he arrived there realised he had forgotten to pack the kilt. He had to make do with buying a smart pair of black trousers to attend the wedding.

I had the opposite problem. On a recent trip to Memphis, where I had to attend a public meeting for work, I forgot to pack trousers, which I usually wear for this type of thing. Not wanting to buy a new pair that would mostly sit in my drawer I checked a few thrift stores but nothing jumped out at me So I went to the meeting in a kilt. No problems, any comments were positive.

Rex - that little town with the provincial but upscale downtown wouldn't have been Aiken SC would it? If so I know that store. I go to Aiken a lot on business.

It very well could be, but I would hate to get anyone in trouble with the Fish and Wildlife folks, so I will neither confirm or deny. The name of the shop in question will have to remain a curiosity.

Rex,

I'm amazed at the technology used to work things out. And, it occured to me how "hidden" some Celtic goods retail shops are. We have a map of forum members. Maybe someone could develop a map of Celtic goods retail shops, Celtic themed food and beverage places....or maybe they need their own "guild" with a map.
