Wearing a kilt to Work

[BEEDEE]

I don't know about your job and workplace so this might not be relevant. I work as staff at a local Community College (roughly equivalent to the old UK polytechnic) and am kilted every day. From day one I have had very little attention and nobody seems distracted by my wearing a kilt. I think if I turned up in slacks now, that would cause more of a stir than the kilt does.

Just a heads up, but in the UK the polys all became universities eventually, whilst what used to be the technical colleges and colleges of further ed are now actually called community colleges, which I think is about right in terms of equivalence.

I have a friend who teaches law at the University of the South Bank, which used to be the South Bank Polytechnic, and another who graduated with a Bachelors' degree in Mech. Engineering from NE London Poly, which is now East London Uni.

Trivia note: Yes I knew there was already another East London University in S. Africa before the one in London, but the South African one is in a town called East London, as opposed to being in the 'East End' of London. For that matter, there are places called City University in both London and New York, and maybe other cities for all I know.
