Source for American/Bicentennial tartan?

[MacWage]

Fabric at parents house in Atlanta. I'll get it from them this weekend. I'll post review this weekend.

If you go over the 2Kg limit for the Post office Air Mail (cost of 2Kg small packet to US is 19.58 UK pounds) then you have to send by carrier, where the limit is 10Kg, but the cost is rather higher.

I'm almost tempted to buy some of the fabric myself but it is just a teeny bit too razzle dazzle to fit into my wardrobe, I think.

A Brit . . . buying American Bicent.?

American Rev./War in reverse? :rolleyes:

The shipping to US was 27 pounds. Almost the cost of the fabric itself.

Review of material itself . . . coming soon to a computer near you!

Certainly no sillier than a colonial buying the American Bicentennial tartan from the UK!

Touche! with an accent over the "e" but I don't know how to do that on this board.

Also, (US) Americans wearing Scotland National . . .
OR Irish National

Or a southerner (US) wearing a Scottish garb and trying to spell in French . . .

Hold down the alt key and type 130 on the number pad.

PM me if you'd like a table of common accentuated chracters that I keep taped close to my desk. I use é so often, I don't think about it any more.

Please read "Albion's Seed" and "The Cousin's Wars" before making such a statement. The majority of "Revolutionary" ideals in the American Rebellion were actually from English Country Opposition/Whig Thought, or "there's nothing new under the sun". Many folks in the UK voiced their support for the colonists, such as Robert Burns and Edmund Burke.

Not to mention the fact that the Black Watch (and many other British regiments) take no battle honours for the Revolution becaue "it was a war between kith and kin" -- that phrase is taken directly from the regimental history.

Todd thanks for the info, but it was really a comment made in fun, with no factual basis intended. Macwage and I were just jibing back and forth.
