I notice that there have been numerous mentions on our site of the public's reactions to us kiltwearers, many of them negative. Well, why not have this thread devoted to positive and hopefully fun reactions which we have experienced? It could be ongoing as things happen and you know, this thread has the potential to be kind of semi-permanent if you will! It can last indefinitely! In my very short experience with the kilt, here are a couple to kick it off: When I walked into the video store a woman on seeing me immediately come forward saying, "it's the man with the kilt again". (apparently she had seen me earlier in another part of town.) She was a slim, middle-aged and very attractive female. Coming up to me she said: " you just look so cool in that kilt, I just love it!" All this whilst her husband stood by just smiling. After that she asked me all kind of questions about the kilt. It was a marvellous encounter.
Then another day I was making my way home on foot from the grocery store with a couple of sacks. Nearing my apartment which is adjacent to a school, suddenly this chubby little girl (about 9 years old I would guess) comes tearing round the corner on her bike. The moment she saw me she brightened up. " Yeah, a kilt! Right on!" And then when she drew level with me she said: " Nice kilt!" It was just perfect and yet could never have been rehearsed. It really brightened up my day and I still chuckle at the thought of it. - Alan
