The Kilt On Active Service.

[attworth]

Being Kilted does make bending over, leaning over, and laying on the ground quite awkward in my opinion. In my line of work (not now, but very soon - Mechanics,) it would be very awkward and trousers, or better yet, a flight suit, would be a better choice.

I had wondered about mechanics. It would be a tad difficult to work in a kilt under a tank, aeroplane, ship's boiler, I can imagine.

I don't wear the kilt on the farm, when I am doing practical work,rare these days anyway.I rarely fish wearing the kilt,getting into chest waders wearing the kilt is a real bind.Midgies and ticks are not an inconsiderable problem too.On the hill, deer stalking and grouse shooting, the kilt is not very handy either.How those brave fellows fought in the trenches wearing the kilt I really cannot imagine.In my experiance, I most cetainly would not want to go into action wearing the kilt, but then, as any soldier knows(British soldiers certainly do!) you fight with what you have got, not what you ought to have.
