I can believe this absolutely and the Dutch invented golf.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We've known for centuries that salt is an excellent preservative, so the fact that it has preserved a kilt should come as no surprise.

But no canny Scot would leave his kilt behind for a foreign preservationist to play with.
The article claims Austria invented tartan - not the kilt itself. Perhaps that honour belongs to the Swiss and also accounts for yodelling ? Without trews any male's voice would definitely go up an octave or two in winter.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm not so sure, last night they said that the abysinians used to wear kilts only about 5,000 years ago

Do you know what Alastair I have a horrid reccolection of that actually having occured at a DHO event, it's the sort of crazy thing that fellow members have been persuaded to do in the past, I know that not too many years ago they did a race in period coatume ! And yes you are quite right on your point of Pedantry, I wasn't really concentrating on the programme at the time so don't be to harsh on me

Now if someone were to ski wearing a kilt whilst playing the bagpipes that would be something worth seeing
|
However, probably not worth hearing - I've always found the Highland Bagpipes rather harsh sounding - I much prefer the sweeter tone of the (arm bellows driven) Northumbrian Pipes as played by the talented Geordie lass Kathryn Tickell.

It's nice to know that the DHO are maintaining the reputation of English eccentricity (incidentally I'm also a member - I joined during my first (and only) visit to Wengen just over 2 years ago, but I will be returning next season (already booked!)

D G Orf, your mention of DHO antics sounds entirely possible, even familiar!!!

D G, .... and hopefully the racing element will be behaving themselves, as 'usual', in ten days time in Méribel! Hmm, perhaps I should rephrase that.....

You know it makes sense.

I would if I were you
