You really must pay attention ! I don't care what the weather is doing in Scotland, that is President Salmond's/ Mel Gibson's fault.

The items of clothing described were "Drawers, Drac". These should not be confused with a later issue of green things which were given the name "Shreddies".

In my mob, anyone found wearing such items were summarily executed.

When you get your Independence, what you wear under your kilt is a matter for your own concience !

The noo.

Brum...Go away in small jerky movements..

In my time "Shreddies"referred to any undergarment worn around the arse ,irrespective of colour

If President Salmond does manage to get independence (which i strongly doubt) i shall be heading South.So be a good chap and look out for a 4 bed detached house close to you..

The kilt is a non talking item at the moment,as i refused to wear one to my grand daughter`s wedding last week.Give it a couple of monthes and someone might speak to me,meanwhile i am enjoying the peace and quiet.

Toodle pip

draws drac issued to us were green fings. a cross between a bell tent. and a gas cape. they had funny bits of string hanging from them all over the place, and weird rubber buttons, you had finished your basic training before you found out what they were, even today all these years after demob i cant remember how you wore the blinking fings, ginger

Refused to wear a kilt to your granddaughter's wedding?? Refused to wear a kilt???? Good lord.....!!!! sputter, choke, gasp....refused to wear a kilt??????? Why on earth not? I mean, apart from having to be careful when sitting and such (assuming, if you HAD worn it, it would have been worn "traditionally").....
