Bob, Don't know about North of the Border but when "Bonk Bags" were popular down "Sarf" we got our Mums or Girlfriends to make them out of deck chair canvas. Or chatted up one of the girls in fourth year needlework classes. Amazing the purchasing powers of ten Embassy! No "Southern Poseur" would have been seen dead with one of those trade jobs. How about the plastic ice cream flag as a cape and tub role to add authenticity to the Scott. Eldorado's were the height of fashion in our club. Lyons Maid and Walls for "Tuggoes". Will keep a lookout for you. ATB Mick.

Condition relatively unimportant as long as it's complete with strap etc. as I need it for a pattern only, hence the cheaper the better (why discontinue the Scottish stereotypes) ! Better still if you've got one of those sold by David Rattray's with "The Flying Scot" on it even better, but probably unlikely ! e-mail me direct with cost +postage !
