    Now that sounds like a good idea though it does run into the danger of creating a Potemkin Village.

    But some kind of reward system such as refund of parking charges (<g>) or a monthly lottery (tickets free but you have to be kilted to get them) - the possibilities are endless really.

    As it happens, I have just received a note from another French kiltwearer, who told me there were several kilts on the streets of Edinburgh Fridays as office workers leave for home (or for the nearest celidh, perhaps?).

    Would his name be Bruno by any chance? If so he is one with whom I was having the discussion about numbers!
