Kilts Are Now Officially Menswear
One of the stranger stories to come out today was that the EU has had to climb down in its efforts to reclassify the kilt as womenswear.
Apparently tailors were told to fill in how many kilts they had sold in the space provided for women's skirts in a questionnaire, with the threat of a hefty fine if the form wasn't filled in correctly.
After the Scottish First Minister stepped in, the EU's statistical agency, Eurostat, had to climb down and issue a new form with the kilt classified as menswear.
