    Sounds like you needed a paper kilt police badge, warrant card and a copy of your miranda rights to give him... Of course then you might have had to explain it all to him...

    I was tempted to ask him if I could see his badge...which I know would have brought a bewildered look.

    Hope this story gives people a laugh. I was both amused and perturbed by it at the same time. And I'm dead serious about my question...did this guy spend all day/weekend going around correcting everyone?? Or was there something about me in particular that made him think that I needed his guidance?? I guess it will remain a mystery.

    Aye, you do wear it as described. On the other hand, judging from this pic from yesterday afternoon, it appears that a lot of other Xmarkers may be equally "guilty":





    It was great to finally meet you, by the way, as well as the others who were there!!

    Those who most readily give opinions/advice tend to be those least qualified to do so. Banging your head against a wall is more productive than arguing with someone who can not be proven wrong.

    I must say gentlemen, that it is a long time since I have seen a group photo of kilted gents where all the kilt hems are, what I would say, of a very acceptable length. Great photo and a toast to all of you

    Hmm. . .I also just noticed that, apart from Panache on the right, we're all wearing garter ties rather than flashes with our hose.

    Indeed...I made my own. I know for a fact that Jamie (Panache) does own tie garters as well as the flashes that he was wearing this weekend.
