    I've found this quote...

    I'm sure you guys have probably seen this online but I found it recently on an American site, I changed the wording slightly to sound more British (no offence to any Americans from this site!) and its my favourite thing to quote when my friends take the mick!!

    "You don't have to be a cowboy to wear a cowboy hat.
    You don't have to be an athlete to wear a tracksuit.
    You don't have to be a pilot to wear a bomber jacket.
    You don't have to be a baseball player to wear a baseball cap.
    You don't have to be a soldier to wear camouflage clothing.
    You don't have to be a man to wear trousers and....
    You don't have to be a Scot to wear a kilt!"

    I think thats great

    The baseball cap analogy is a particularly good one.

    Thanks.

    At least you know that your work is recognized.

    I too have used that in many conversations, as it is a great and true statement.

    Very difficult to wear it here...

    In a place like Italy is almost impossible to wear a kilt daily or walking in the steet kilted, because people think it's a skirt and you are at least a bit effemminate !! Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!!!
    Do you wear kilt usually, even you aren't in Scotland?
    What's people attitude toward that?
    I'm proud to wear it as a badge of devotion towards the tradition and the history it represents! we shall overcome!
