No doubt about it.
I saw what at least one Scotsman wears under his kilt.
It happened in broad daylight, outside an Estate Agent's at Cardonald, at 11.55 a.m.. today. There he was playing his bagpipes, accompanied on the pavement by one of the Estate Agent staff who was holding glasses of something liquid for drinking and proffering said liquid to passers by.
Now in the widely predicted and living up to their description strong winds which were battering the West of Scotland, complemented by rain alternating between vertical and horizontal stair rods, two otherwise sensible people were engaged in what I can only guess was a publicity stunt on Burns Day. It takes two hands to play the pipes, so what happens when gusts of wind elevate the tartan, eh? And have you ever tried to balance a tray with filled glasses in one hand, while giving said glasses to passing punters, and the wind threatening to turn the tray into an alcohol laden frisbee?
And the obvious consequence of open air waitressing in a gale, and wearing a kilt in a storm force wind?
Nearly crashed my car.
Why?
Cos I saw what he was wearing under his kilt. But I'll pull a tartan veil over the shocking reality witnessed as an anti-epiphany.
Did wonder though if it was one of the £24.99 Lidl kilts that sold out in less than an hour?
