Down the town

[Derek]

I went into town yesterday to buy a black sweatshirt and some brown cord shirts. First stop was H & M. As I walked into the mens section there were two youngish girl assistants tidying up some racks. As I approach one immediately smiled and asked if it was a Welsh Cilt that I was wearing. Yep, I replied, that it was. 'Thats real cool you know' she said. The other girl saying 'lush'. Any how I asked them to point me in the directions of the sweatshirts and if they had any brown cord shirts. Well they both downed tools and took me to every part of the dept, where they showed me the various shirts. They could'nt have been more helpful. I chose the goods, thanked them very much, and they went off to do what they were doing on the racks. I went to the cashier (who was a guy) and paid for everything. The only thing he asked me was if I was going to watch the Rugby on Sat. Wales are playing Australia in the Millenium Stadium. I came out of there and then went for coffee in a Starbucks. The girl behind the counter says 'Luvs the Cilt'. I says 'thanks' and made my order. I had my coffee then went to the young lady to pay for it. All she was saying to me while doing so was that it was going to be a busy day for them as it was a Friday and they were short staffed. I said goodbye and then headed back home. All in all a good Cilted morning.
Heres the sweatshirt


And here is the brown shirt ... I now have a 3" brown belt and brown sporran on my Father Christmas list which I have given to Elaine! Fingers crossed.

Good to know that Welsh tartans are being recognised in the Capital!

Will have to wear my Roberts down there shortly!

It's nice when people recognized and appreciate your kilt for what it is rather than making the clever quips that we've all come to know and love.

A couple of years ago, I wore one of my kilts to a menswear shop and had no less than three staff (two of them ladies) looking after me.... much to the frustration of other customers who were waiting to be served. I never get that kind of service wearing trousers.

Sounds like a splendid day in town, Derek, and the brown shirt looks great with the cilt.

I not sure what they call the head/bathroom in Wales, but isn't loo the same thing? Just joking with you KCW

Derek,

I bet you didn't tell them that the shirts were for the cardboard cutout Derek in your kitchen.

My best regards to you both (and to the cardboard cutout).

Loo is "ty bach" (literally "little house") bathroom is "ystafell ymolchi" but in many houses in Wales the loo is in the bathroom anyway so "ty bach" is more likely to be used in any case.
