I have been invited to a Burns night next week and I need to get a tartan tie - does anyone have any idea where I might be to fins one locally. I fear time is too tight to get one from E Bay/Amazon etc.

You must be an accountant then, only accountancy companies celebrate Burns night, that and the Budget afternoon.



I had a yellow tartan tie once, bought it in Las Vegas in 1974, it was nearly a foot wide at the bottom.

Just did a search on eBay for "tartan tie" + Express Delivery, only got 259 results.

How did you guess

i tend to find amazon are pretty quick delivery wise i have ordered lots of stuff off amazon and got em within 2-4 days in fact the last thing i ordered a 24 pack of branston beans i ordered very late friday night and they arrived monday morning

You buy your baked beans from Amazon?

That's a right idea is that. I might start doing my Big SHop at Amazon. With free super saver delivery, how can I lose?

As far as I know you do not "need" to wear tartan for a Burns Supper. I assume you are not a Scot otherwise you would have the full kit. If you really want to pass yourself off as a Scot then offer to say the 'Selkirk Grace' before the supper. If you can pull this off with a Lowlands Scots dialect you will earn yourself a few extra drams of the single malt and possibly a right to vote in the distant Scottish referendum!



On the other hand it could be more fun to go with a Union Jack bow tie and drape yourself in the St Geoge's Cross

Thank you for all the help - now sorted thank you
