    Indeed I AM, Rocky, and was just about to say how impressed I am by James' eye for colour. Another fine statement showing that beige/oatmeal/stone go well with virtually any tartan. Well done, James.

    [PS: I have never before heard the name "Greatfather" used. What relationship does this represent? Is it perhaps a term used in the USA for 'Grandfather'?]

    No, it's really not common at all. It's what I call my grandfather

    Thanks for the explanation James. Actually, I rather like it although I suppose it might be confused with "Greatgrandfather.

    Unfortunately, I was not privileged to have known either of my grandfathers - both died before I was born and I never got to hear anything about them from my parents or grandmothers.
