Scottish Tories To Offer Obama His Own Tartan

In desperation, to escape hearing the word 'Obama' again before bedtime, I had a browse round some of my favourite websites.

Courtesy of Alex Massie of the Spectator, (any relation to the journalist Alan Massie I wonder), I came across this little gem.

Having done some in-depth research (five minutes on google), I suggest that Gavin and Murdo approach British Airways and they may have some spare material lying around somewhere. (British Airways tartan above).  Surely BA would do a deal.

For some reason the suppliers say 'restricted supply'.  I suspect that's to avoid the common people strutting their stuff up and down Princes Street on a Saturday night, wearing the tartan of the Worlds Best Airline. As if any self-respecting Scot would!  

May I further suggest the tories offer the new President some trews instead.

AM2 is more a "relic" of the old days in Scotland when unionist votes from grateful serfs were counted by the barrow-load.

Without making a song and dance about it - these days are past now.

Juan, the have a need to be noticed and they're having to go to the US now. Everyone ignores them here. Shame for Murdo, he just never grew up. He's a likeable person though. He speeches are pure heaven for insomniacs.
