    Why I wear my Cilt

    Last night the wife and myself popped out for a beer in one of the local country pubs. We sat next to a very nice couple and were chatting away to them. At one point they brought up my Cilt and asked in a very friendly way why I was wearing my it. I said that I wore my Cilt 80% of the time these days and for the following reasons (in no particular order) .. One: because I'm proud of my Celtic Heritage, plus the fact that there are now Welsh Family Tartans available, make it extra special, Two: Quite simply, the comfort factor. Beats the sh$$ out of jeans! Thirdly .. It cost so much to have made, I refuse to mothball it only to be used for special occasions. Their reply was .. 'can't fault that'. The only other thing that happened was when I went to the Loo, I guy came in trying to be macho I guess and said 'Like the Sk$$$', I always reply the same way and said 'At least its a Welsh one'.

    'At least its a Welsh one'
    Nice come back Derek. I also agree about the cost/mothballs point of veiw why should something so nice just be for best. In fact it was that line of thought that got me to wear the kilt/cilt on a more regular basis
