While I think some avatars can be a distraction (when they move) or pointless (when they bare no relation to the forum), I realize they can be useful.

I'd been searching the web for a tartan with certain colour combinations, but with little luck. I ordered samples from various suppliers, and in, some cases, I am still waiting for them to arrive.

Then I caught sight of Keepoffgrass's tartan avatar and had a feeling that this might be what I was looking for. He named it for me, the Kiltstore sent me a sample ... and my order for a new kilt has been placed.

Will it arrive for St Andrews Night?
