SO Sir, what is worn underneath the kilt? Little!
The managing director of a London company is walking from John O'Groats to Lands End to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Relief.
And for at least part of the journey Ron Little will be wearing a kilt and a Macmillan Cancer Relief sweatshirt - making sure he is noticed by all who see him.
Ron, appeal manager Donna Little's dad, will not only be helping to save the lives of cancer patients at Milton Keynes General Hospital but will also be achieving a lifelong ambition.
He said: "What I am trying to do is something I have always wanted to do - and raise money for a worthwhile cause at the same time."
He hopes to walk at least 30 miles a day, travelling over 900 miles over 30 days.
He said: "I've got no idea whether I can do it but there's only one way to find out."
In the past he has run marathons in New York, Dallas, Malta and Dublin.
But he is hoping support drivers will be able to lend him a helping hand - he is appealing for anyone willing to join him on the journey.
Although they will not be walking the distance they will be driving to the places across the country where Ron will be stopping, carrying equipment and food.
They will also be picking Ron up whenever he becomes tired, driving him to B & B accommodation where he can sleep, then taking him back to the point of the journey where he left off the previous night.
Ron is hoping four drivers will be able to help him.
If you can help Ron call the Macmillan Cancer Relief MK appeal office on MK 243988.
l YEE-HAW! A Valentine's Day line dance disco is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Relief, so you can step the night away with your sweetie and help.
Phil Partridge of the Bluegrass Group will be there to teach novices and experts to get your boot-scootin' babes toe tapping in style.
Organiser Judith Griffiths knows what a difference the cancer unit will make.
Her husband's nephew was a cancer patient who had to go to Northampton for chemotherapy but was unable to make the 20-mile journey and later died of the disease.
She said: "You don't need to bring a partner - just come along and have fun."
The dance is on February 16 between 7.30 and 9.30pm at the Village Hall in Station Road, Castlethorpe.

Appeal is launched to raise £1.5 million for new cancer treatment unit at city hospital

Macmillan Cancer Relief and the Milton Keynes Citizen are launching a
£1.5 million appeal to improve the lives of hundreds of people living with cancer in Milton Keynes.
The Macmillan Milton Keynes appeal will raise money to extend and refurbish a new cancer chemotherapy treatment unit at Milton Keynes General Hospital and to fund a new Macmillan Clinical Nurse specialist.
But Macmillan needs your help to achieve this massive goal.
At the moment, people with cancer are treated in a small area of a normal acute medical ward. While the treatment and care is the best possible, the surroundings should be better.
Anita Reed, Service Development Manager for the Milton Keynes General Hospital Trust, said: "It is all about treating the patient as a whole person and recognising their life goes on even while they have cancer.
"If we can make their treatment for cancer that bit easier then I will make such a difference. All the patients we have talked to have said how wonderful the care and treatment they receive is, but they agree the surroundings are far from ideal. With your help, we want to change this."
The new treatment unit has been designed with the needs of patients in mind. Patients being treated were asked how the experience could be better for them. As a result, the unit will include:
*Four new consulting rooms
* Comfortable chairs for patients having chemotherapy
* A quiet room, with soft lighting and music, just to get away from it all for a while
*The ability to make hot and cold drinks when needed
*An information room with books, leaflets and access to the internet
*Space for families
*Room for support groups to meet
With four in 10 people affected by cancer at some point in their life this appeal is important to everyone.
Macmillan Cancer Relief, Milton Keynes General Hospital and the Citizen are relying on your support to make this a dream come true for the hospital staff and patients. It is going to be hard work, but we know can do it.
It is to the public Macmillan dedicates its work. It is from the public Macmillan receives its support.
One patient said of an existing Macmillan Unit: "I don't mind coming for my chemo-therapy like I used to because I have such a lovely building to go to. It takes away the fear."
Macmillan has already funded 23 nurses in Buckinghamshire, including two working in Milton Keynes Hospital.
They work closely with doctors and other health professionals to ensure that people with cancer receive the best possible treatment and care.
Macmillan gave over £22,000 in 2000 to people in Buckinghamshire in financial difficulties because of their illness.
Macmillan Cancer Relief has funded over 2,500 nurses, doctors and other health professionals across the UK, and helps more than 200,000 people with cancer every year.
You have seen Macmillan's vision for the future - now you can help make a difference. The Macmillan Milton Keynes appeal will not raise £1.5million without the help of the people of Milton Keynes.
Fund-raising events can be organised at schools, workplaces or local pubs - anywhere that people gather and have fun. Or you can just give a donation.
Appeal Manager Donna Little said: "I want to say a big thank you to the people of Milton Keynes because I know that you will want to support this vital project for the benefit of local people.
"At this time of Christmas, we all think of those who can't be with us.
"You might like to remember them and make a donation to this appeal -why not ask around your family and friends? We will be delighted with everything.
"I am really looking forward to working with you through the year to raise money for this important new building."

Cancer is something that most of us prefer to push out of our minds and pray we never have to deal with.
But four in 10 of us will be affected by cancer at some time in our lives and this number is rising.
Macmillan is working
towards the day when every person in the land has ready and equal access to the best information, treatment and care for cancer.
Macmillan funds services which include Macmillan nurses and doctors and patient information and grants.
The charity has also paid for 100 buildings for cancer treatment and care.
These vital services help to achieve a better quality of life for people affected by cancer.
Macmillan works in partnership with the NHS.
All of their services are free, and are funded entirely through the generosity of their supporters.
Macmillan will not give grants for services unless continuing funding has been guaranteed by their partner organisation.
In this way, they ensure that services become permanent.
Please do what you can to help.

This is Northampton's new oncology suite - and how Milton Keynes cancer unit could look in less than two years' time.

Staff and patients were clearly thrilled with the brand new suite at its official opening by Earl Spencer a few weeks ago.
The atmosphere at the centre is very relaxed.
In one of the rooms are three beds. The floor is carpeted and in front of the beds are six armchairs. On one side of the room is a huge window allowing plenty of natural light. A Christmas tree and presents stand in the corner. A stereo and television set add to the relaxed atmosphere. There is an office in the corner allowing patients to talk to staff in private.
There are other rooms in the suite for a single patient. There is a room for patients to relax. It has a sofa and is softly lit.
Everything is beautifully decorated, modern and designed to comfort and help patients as much as possible.
The level of thought extends to a make-up mirror perhaps for someone who has been given bad news.
The suite offers patients complementary medicines including aromatherapy to complement their treatment.
This new oncology suite replaced the less than perfect facilities at Northampton.
Nurse Valerie Webb told the Citizen: "It's great that there's lots of natural light. It is so much better than we had before.
"It makes patients feel better, especially when they come in for treatment for the first time, and it's good to see them happier. None of us are working here because we have to. We work because we want to."
A patient who knew the old facilities said: "It has made all the difference. Looking at this room, it's hard to believe that people will be treated for cancer here - it is like someone's front room."

Elaine Pycroft and June Shrewsbury live very near to Milton Keynes general hospital but have both been travelling up to Northampton for treatment for breast cancer.

Macmillan Hospital Support Nurse Rachel Horton is eagerly anticipating the new unit in Milton Keynes.
Rachel helps patients through the experience of chemotherapy, providing expert advice and support.
She said: "It will make such a difference to patients that are now travelling to Northampton for treatment.
"Patients who are treated in Milton Keynes all speak highly of the staff here but all of them will tell you the environment is not the best it could be."
Lung cancer nurse Rhian Langford said: "You can see how desperately a new unit is needed in Milton Keynes.
"It is really exciting to be involved in the appeal."
Erica Lewsey, Clinical Nurse Specialist in Oncology at Milton Keynes, said: "Making people feel better about their environment is such an important part of treatment."
The appeal will fund a new Macmillan Clinical Nurse specialist to work in the new unit.
Macmillan nurses are highly trained professionals in cancer care.
They are a valued and trusted source of information, expert advice and emotional support for people with cancer and their families.
Macmillan nurses support people when they are first diagnosed.
They help patients through the maze of different services. They also help people to cope with problems such as the symptoms associated with treatment and disease.
Macmillan nurses work with other health professionals, sharing their knowledge and skills and co-ordinating care between hospital and the
patient's home.
All Macmillan nurses are registered Nurses with at least five years' experience, including two or more years in palliative care.

* Macmillan helps well over 200,000 new cancer patients and their families each year.
Over 2,000 Macmillan nurses support them with breast care, home care, hospital liaison, hospital support and paediatric care.
Macmillan provides more than 300 Macmillan doctors, information, financial help and specialist buildings for cancer treatment and care.
* There are more than one million people living with cancer in the UK.
* Four in 10 people will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. These figures are forecast to double by 2020.
* Around 255,000 new cases of cancer are registered each year in the UK.
* Cancer is more likely to develop in later life, and over 65 per cent of all new cancers are diagnosed in people over the age of 65.
* There are over 200 different types of cancer. Just four of them - lung, breast, large bowel and prostate - account for half of all new cases.
* The five most common cancers in men are: Lung, prostate, large bowel, bladder and stomach.
* The five most common cancers in women are: Breast, large bowel, lung, ovary and uterus.
* Cancer is the cause of a quarter of all deaths in the UK.
* In 1998 there were 155,000 deaths from cancer in the UK - nearly a quarter of these were from lung cancer.
* A further quarter was caused by cancers of the large bowel, breast and prostate. The outlook for childhood cancers has improved dramatically as a result of more effective treatments and the growing proportion of children being treated in specialised centres.
* The most common cancers in children are leukaemia and brain tumours which together account for over half of all cases.
* In the same period, childhood brain tumours increased from 43 to 59 per cent.
* Much effort has been put into effective and cost effective ways of detecting cancers when they are curable - including screenings for breast and cervix cancers.
* Government health expenditure was £48.8billion in 1998. Six per cent was spent on treating cancer.
· The Government has promised £570million additional expenditure on cancer by 2003/4.
