[BITList] THE KILT

[M & E. HENDERSON.]

Hugh,

 

It looks as though everything is happening in Glasgow. My friend's job is
delivering cars all over the country and last week he had 2 trips to Glasgow
and said that it was a hell of a job to get to the station because the roads
were blocked up because Brad Pitt is making a film there. On both occasions
he nearly missed his train. I do not know what the film will be about.

 

Malcolm.

Sunday afternoon,

 

Malcolm,

 

Though I haven't worn the kilt since my Boy Scout days, I belong to the
"only idiots were nothing under the kilt" society.  Yesterday Janet and I
travelled to Glasgow to meet son Andrew in the Central Station for a coffee.
We had hardly stepped off the bus at the end of Bothwell Street when I got
the impression they were filming Braveheart again.  Each pub was crammed
with men in Scotland shirts, the kilt, and boots, and as many again were
outside clutching pints.  Realisation dawned - Scotland via the Czech
Republic at Hampden.  We managed to get a seat somewhere amid the
(good-natured) noise, but the complete Runrig songbook played at full volume
on the pub tannoy caused even Andrew to wilt, so we set off to look at
curtains at the far end of Argyle Street.  Having looked at curtains, we
felt like another coffee, but there was nothing doing.  Bouncers were
admitting two if two came out, etc. One bekilted gent told me "this is the
third effing pub I haven't been able to get into." I felt improperly
dressed, but at least I had remembered to put on underpants.  How many of
them were bare arsed?  I forebore to ask.

 

Hugh.
