But, regretfully, it does seem to be CERTAIN, BY NO MEANS ALL folks 'across the pond' who have the greatest difficulty with knowing when its OK to do your thing and when its just plain less embarrassing to your 'hosts', to be a little more refined, and frankly, knowledgeble, in how the damn thing is worn, if you choose to attend a gathering where Celtic heritage is the headlining act, if you will.
This is a indicator of a culture who is more concerned about the right to do whatever they want but not interested in taking the responsibility to do it respectfully / correctly.
