Scotweb
When people find out I make Kilts, one of the first questions out of their mouth is how much I charge. I tell them if they supply the fabric what my costs are.

Declatation of Independence
Today there is a debate, not just one of words or ideas, but of ideology.

tricky question from a customer
A customer on the phone asked me a question, if funds were no concern, what would I do with my life. I gave him a half hearted answer, but since then it has been plaguing my mind. What would I do? Run a business? I'd pndered scenarios, ranging from buying up the assets of my computer-love of the Amiga to running a kilt shop, to teaching. But ( Read more... ) -
