A day of days ...

Ham .. What you say is very true. NOW! .. whats all this about 'envious' and friends. You have met a few of them (not in this particular pic I know).. and they are all your friends too! They all can't wait till your coming back over for an adventure with us up to the Waterfalls/Caves etc (and the Red Cow if you like .. among many others too?) and the fact that we can also throw another party for you.
McMurdo .. thanks for your post. I have been wearing my Cilt out and about for a few years now and what occured on Sat certainly did not spoil my day. It goes in one ear and out the other. As you say, I am my own man and will continue to be. Not only does wearing a Cilt/Kilt give an individual confidence but it also gives them 'very broad shoulders'.

That is very true about the confidence and broad shoulders, I did not mean to treat you as someone new to the experience as I know that you have been wearing the Kilt,/Cilt as long or longer than I have, sorry if I came off that way.

You handled it well. It not your fault that there are ignorant small minded people out there. I usually turn, face them and in a fairly loud voice tell them " If your really interested in picking a fight with an off duty officer, let's go outside. Oh, by the way, leave your next of kin contact info with the bar tender. Someone will need to indentify your remains!" They always shut up and leave. Works every time!

Derek you handeled it very well and you're a confident (battle hardened ) Cilt wearer...the odd nasty remark won't hurt you!

Always some narrow minded people who see anyone walking in a different direction as the grey masses as a danger to society. Sad for them!

See you and Elaine in Dumfries...looking forward to meet you both!

Derek, I am very well aware of my good friends over there in Wales, but that is what I mean: my friends aren't geographically close enough to have all the outings and excursions such as you manage to fit into your lives. Actually, it has just struck me that the only people I am able to think of as friends, I have got to know through X Marks and earlier kilting forums, and that is why they are scattered across the UK and beyond!!

Believe me, as soon as Spring or early Summer show their pretty faces, I'll be heading for South Wales again - and that's a threat!!
