    I know I have come late to this topic but it appears that there are no Global Kilt Nights planned for Europe (except in Dumfries, for sure!). I should like to propose one for West Sussex, here in England but I would be wasting my time since I am the only kilt-wearer I know of in this area -and I do not visit pubs on my own! Maybe I'll just have a wee glass of something here at home instead.
    30 odd years ago I was just down the road, but you wouldn't take a 10 year old into the local for a pint! A shandy maybe and a packet of crisps (fish & chip flavour please).

    Dear God Man! Is your smiley drinking Tobasco sauce?

    Hi Grant,

    30-odd years ago I do not think a 10 year old would not have been allowed inside a pub, unless it provided a Family Room (and most did not!).

    How well I remember being made to stand outside in my short trousers, even in winter, clutching a glass of lemonade and a packet of Smith's Crisps, whilst my parents popped inside for a quick 'half' and a glass of sherry. But wait! That was 60 years ago, not 30!!!

    Tabasco sauce? No, that's me with neat whisky!!
