I should have metioned on a light note-whilst herself will go for the throat of anyone who refers to my kilt as a skirt.

However if my kilt is blowing as mentioned in the first post-she will say things like: 'get a grip of your skirts' - 'Really I cannot take you anywhere'.

Dare I say that on occasion I think it is a good thing for chums to laugh-it helps keep the whole subject in perspective.
