Two weeks, five wearings... my first exposure to the kilt

[Jock Scot]

Same as the rest of the UK. Its generally accepted that making deliberate eye contact means you want to have sex with someone, sell them something or ask a financial favour.....

------or, you are about to get a black eye, or worse!

I come from a fairly rural back ground, although towns a cities have ventured into my life from time to time, and I am sure it was not as it is now, some 70,60,50, 40 even 30 years ago. Certain places in the major cities of the UK had grim reputations, but usually a nod, a raise of the hat, a touch on the brim even, or a smile from passing strangers was commonplace then. It still is in the Highlands amongst the older locals.
