If ever there was a pub that gave lie to the theory about location, location, location that was it.
A bit of marketing might also have helped the guy.

There's actually a two tier "eliteness" for the HK Rugby tops.
Some had the chinese characters on the back - but some didn't!!! All the good ones ran out quickly and the not-so-elite had to make do with the blank ones! 
One day these things will be changing hands for three figures on TAMB-bay! But I wouldn't part with mine for anything...

GG, the Caledonian Bar was out on it's own, maybe half a mile or so away from the Wan Chai hotspots of Delaneys, Dusk til Dawn etc. It was a bit posh, with lots of wood panelling and sitty-down tables and chairs and all that stuff. Not much dancing or loud music in there.
Apart from the Rugby Shirts they also had a really classy pin badge... 
Got a nice photo of Lurker with Chris Waddle - think it was in Dusk Til Dawn. That's where McFadden was checking the tonsils of that chinese lassie, and Lamia was trying to chat up Gary O'Connor...

The Caledonian Bar was far too classy to be a Scottish Pub! I remember on a previous visit when it was known as the Bull & Bear or something like that, and it was a much better place even though it was trying to be a "typical" English Pub at that point, it was very popular and was dotted with large screens for the fitba and rugby and full or South Africans and Aussies. Perhaps they'll try the Irish theme next.
I only got the rugby shirt without the Chinese characters, I'll just need to try harder to join the "elite", or paint some on myself

I'm surprised you found one to fit a "Field Marshall"! I think it's the chinese sizing, but my "Second Lieutenant" one is a XXXL!

WESTA Size 5556 - are you sure you didnae meet the "LOYL" in Joe Bananas???? (ie: after Britney had done all the leg work for you, as usual?) - still think there must have been something wrong with that lassie for her to have done all the things you "claim" she did...........
Kilt - if you had spent less time lying on the floor of the 7-11 you might have got to the Caley in time to get chinese text on the back o' yer top :-)
