    We've been here before (kilts over expensive) and it really upsets me when people complain about the price of a quality product...whatever it is...made from good materials and made by a skilled craftsman (m/f).

    I won't even start about poor quality, cheap (child?) labour and stealing of designs.

    I'm not telling anyone to buy (more expensive...true) quality products and for those on a budget it's perfectly understandable to look for cheap solutions. (although it might be wiser to save a bit longer).

    It's the complaining what makes me angry...nothing else.

    When I got it completly wrong...my sincere excuses.

    You seem to be advising me to renounce my allegiance to my country because I disagree with your snobbery. In the interest of civility on this board, where we are all guests, I will refrain from telling you what I'd like you to do with that advice.

    Warning Shot

    I would ask all of you in the interests of our forum to remember that we are the gentlemen and ladies of X Marks the Scot.

    I would also humbly suggest that value is in the eye of the beholder.

    There is room on this forum for all manners of kilts and wearers.

    Respectfully

    Jamie
