Not much Hamish, a few people said they saw my picture in the paper, that's about all.
I think that with all my Tartan Day efforts combined, the radio interview, the newspaper article and the dinner with 30 fairly prominent people in the community went a fair way to establish some recognition of kilts here.
There is a lot of reluctance even among those who like wearing kilts.
One friend, when I asked him if he wore his kilt to church said "no way!, I don't want to draw attention to myself". His motives were admirable, but I explained that he would only attract undue attention for a week or three, after that fellow members would not even notice he was kilted.
Regrettably, I am far and away the most kilted man in Tasmania that i know of, I wish I were not. Things will change in time, or else I'll just be seen as a solitary fruitcake
Newspapers amaze me, so much effort goes into to creating news that is so soon forgotten by most.
