So you are floating between schools of thought in a way and that is absolutely fine if that is your choice. What my observations do , I hope, is illustrate that there often appears to be a noticeable diverging of thought between one side of the Atlantic and the other, from a traditional point of view.

Id suppose everything is a "hire mentality" was going for the none hire look. I failed.

Fair enough, from my experiences in Scotland visit family and going to games and dinners, cant say ive seen anyone in one particular dress. Lots of colors and styles. Ill be in Braemar in August be honored to have Jock at my pre-reception party.

That is very kind of you, sir. August is a time when my family and friends are rather busy chasing things that swim, run or fly, so I am sure that you will have a great time without me.

You seem to have local knowledge too which is great, but I do seriously suggest that you study traditional "local form" as opposed to the "local" hire company version of it and the trans-Atlantic version of it. You are, as they say, right slap bang in the "lions den" so to speak and I am quite sure that you don't intend to be lunch!
