In the supermarket.

While I know that this is a topic that keeps repeating, I still feel obligated to point out that the Black Watch tartan is not exclusively a "uniform" it also the tartan of Clan Campbell, the district tartan for the Sutherland district, and designated as Hunting Munro and Hunting Grant.

Best regards,

No problem, I meant it more as an awareness thing, something to add to the decision making process. Certainly not intended as censure.

I stopped off at the Tesco supermarket yesterday to get in some booze - friends coming to stay in a few days and the cupboard is bare.
I'd not left my car about a minute, and was walking along the pedestrian walkway towards the store when a young woman, a complete stranger, sidled up to me with a grin and asked 'Have you got anything on under that kilt?'
I gave her back a smile and all I could think of was a very tame 'Wouldn't you like to know.' She laughed and sauntered off.
I was aware of a few stares and conversational asides in the store. One between a couple of guys I didn't quite catch in full, but ended in '... man in a skirt.' It's encouraging to know that, unless their education has been abnormally skimped, they know full well it's a kilt.
The best scenarios are when someone comes out from behind an aisle and momentarily freezes.
While I was checking out the beverages I was thinking of what I could have told that woman earlier...maybe something like:
'Oh, do you have to wear something under these things then?'
If said in a mock puzzled way, she still wouldn't know one way or the other.
