Kilted at Disney(world) all this past week.

Awesome comments from the staff/cast at Rose and Crown (the English Pub in Epcot). Awesome comments from several guests.

However, did go to a dinner at one of the more upscale resorts and a gentleman with either a very "soft" southern Scottish accent or a harder Northern English accent* had asked me if I were Scottish or American (the "American" part was in a sort of half-scowl). I told him I'm from about 2 hours drive away, am on vacation, and simply enjoy wearing a kilt (I was wearing Black Watch, with a polo shirt, FWIW). As we were being seated (same evening, just a moment later), a gentleman laughing patted me on the shoulder and said "I'm not even gonna ask..." (I'm assuming about the "regimental" part by the way he was acting). I responded "That's good, because if I asked you the same it would be rude!".

Older Scottish man in a hoverround (mobility scooter for the elderly) told me that my son and I looked "WONDERFUL!" and asked a few questions... this was at Epcot just as we were entering "Japan".

On one of the last evenings, a couple smartass kids made the "Get in my belly!" comments from behind my back. They are quite fortunate I've grown up in the past few years. I let them have their laughs... I was an ******* too at that age...


* (my sincerest apologies to my friends on both sides of Hadrian's Wall, I worked for a Hull company for 3 years and still can only tell the "Manchester" accent from a Southerner/Londoner accent, I have problems with lowlander Scots and some Northern accents from time to time.)
