Happy Yule folks.
I saw this article & thought of you.

More than 5,000 Scottish soldiers must share ceremonial kilts because defense chiefs haven't finalized a contract to buy enough of the garments for all, British military officials said Monday.
Here's the link to the whole story

My goodness! What a furore this has caused! The lack of sensitivity to folk's feelings (now, where have I heard that before?). Fairly simple solution. Don't give the Sassenachs (Scottish Lowlanders) Kilts to wear. They cannot abide 'em. Right, that's 20% of the Regiment sorted! As for the rest (what was that phone number in Pakistan?).............!
