    Hamish, what's your size? I may have to gather the rabble and make a kilt raid!

    I would not recommend that! The following is taken directly from a section of the Home page of my up-and-coming Website (with acknowledgement to Steve!):

    Anyone thinking of breaking into Bicknell Grange, my ancestral home in Sussex should note that I have recently updated the security precautions protecting the Kilt Kollection, which is now housed in climate - controlled, underground high security vaults. The new vaults are a great success. The blast-proof doors took about 4 days to crane into position, and only I and my executors know the secret combination.
    Oh, and Horace the 22-foot-long python hasn’t been fed for over a year, but he has free run of the vaults.
    Getting the filtration system for the new shark tank working correctly wasn’t easy (regulating the salinity was a problem) but it’s now working just fine, and ‘Killer’ my 36-foot great white shark is very happy in his new home. A little hungry, perhaps, but happy.

    You have been warned!

    Take care (but not when raiding Bicknell Grange!),
    Ham.

    Please note that in addition to the above precautions, my team was also consulted to test the security measures. Ms. Raven has made a thorough check of all the measures and made further recommendations to close any gaps in protection she discovered. In addition to the physical measures already stated, a vast array of electronic security measures were added. Although no security measures are absolute, I feel it is safe to say that the measures protecting the Kilt Kollection are as close as is humanly possible.
