"Thank you for wearing a kilt"

[cessna152towser]

Excellent. Wearing the kilt is a great ice breaker. I live in a town of about 17,000 population, small enough to be a kent face when I am out and about.
(Kent Face - from the Scots word Ken = Know - a kent face is somebody you recognise as living in the same town as yourself but don't know any more about them, somebody you would normally only talk to if you encountered them away from your locality. Litterally a known face, but you know the face only and not the person. I find there are many kent faces on the street here who will smile or say hello when I am kilted but who pass by without acknowledgement if I'm wearing trousers.
