'Designed for Brighton & Hove using the city’s colours for inspiration. The blues are for the sea; green is for the railings along the beachfront; pink is for the famous Brighton Pride, which takes place annually. The tartan will be used in made to measure staff uniforms for The Grand Hotel Brighton.'

But how could he have signed her arm? I doubt she would have been born before 1977 when he died.

Mystery isn't it?

Might have been duped by an Elvis impersonator?

An Elvis tribute act signed her arm ? Interesting. Could be a whole thread on look alike s who you would like to sign your arm.

Probably Jack Hargreaves for me or maybe Laszlo Biro.

Perhaps the lads could wear kilts as well when they run out on the pitch. That would be a rare old treat for us ladies, particularly on a gusty day.

(Just redressing the "smut" balance - see previous posts).

Well if it was good old Laszlo your arm could well be worth something. The first thing ever signed by his famous invention.

Our Scottish percussionist gives it the thumbs up, the Mayor looks like a right pervy in the photo with his arm around her.

I was told about this particular tartan by a fellow flags enthusiast, who's wife is Scottish, quite a few months back.

According to the Tartan weaving mill and exhibition in Edinburgh, this is a special weave, starting at about £600 for 8 yards, a kilt length, so if TB wants to kit out the whole squad, maybe to scare off the scarys in the PL, Carry on style
