    Hmmmm this is not going to make me popular! I notice in the "great sporran and belt" picture that the chap is wearing a Brigade of Guards stable belt, did this gentleman serve in The Brigade? I suspect not, by the way he is wearing it. Jock is having a real problem over this and, OK, he is probably an American who thinks he is not causing any upset. If he did not serve in the "Brigade" and full marks to him if he did, by the way, could you at least ask him to wear it properly!!! The buckle is worn on the left hip, PLEASE.---------------- Better still, take it off.

    Sorry chaps, but I would not dream of wearing your Marine Corps badge, for example.

    I thought that was a Guards stable belt and wondered when Jock Scot would chip in! It acually looks quite good with the kilt, though I would never dare wear it myself; besides I have a much better one, Ubique!
