Ohhh James! (a kilt lifters comeuppance)
I was antiquing today with my dad at the Scott antique market in Atlanta. I was wearing my Gordon Weathered box pleat, black sporran and boots, just casual. I got quite a few positive comments, and one guy made it pretty clear he was available (TBNT). I bought a nice full hide of brown leather, and got to talking with the lady at the booth about kilts. She asked the question, but I kept the secret secret. She got to talking about her late husband and told me this story, to the best of her recollection.
Her husband was at a pretty well-known bar in London called Paddy's (she thinks), drinking with Sean Connery. Sir Sean was in his kilt that day. The owner of the bar came up behind him, lifted the kilt up and hooted, saying "007? I don't think so. More like 003 and a half!"
Connery turned around and decked him.
