The light has dawned!
I always looked at day sporrans and thought, "Hmm, bit dull. Why no tassels?"
Now I know why: the ruddy things would drive you to utter distraction within five minutes with their constant clickety-clacking!
LOL
A salutary lesson in why NOT to buy a leather sporran with chrome-set leather tassels... I feel a very strong urge to snip 'em off...
