Oh I am so pleased with all of the positives coming from this - I was a bit worried about the present Mrs P-B being embarrassed to be seen out with me but she's cool with it too -

My eldest daughter's uni pals think I'm supercool anyway as I'm (not in any particular order) super-hairy, Father Christmas, Ace folk & rock guitarist AND a walking 60's & 70's retro guitar archive - so they think the kilt is probably gonna be the next big 'must have' (after the Nano Pod)

BTW - What's a utilikilt? AND has it got pockets????? - You can get camouflage kilts here as well as PVC & leather - Definitley NOT for me
