Well I did our big weekly shop kilted in the pouring rain but did not get too wet.
No one took any notice in the supermarket except a smile from a couple of old ladies .

The only person who did make a nice comment, was an American tourist guy from Kentucky about in his 50's, while I was paying the bill in the cafe after lunch. He said he had been here almost a week and I was the first kilt he had seen. He asked was I on holiday and I said no, we live here. So chatted for a few minutes and he said they were going to Orkney next. I said you won't see any kilts over there, they are all Vikings. He laughed and said have a nice day. (do you guys over the pond still say that ) and off he went and looked like he was happy to actually see a kilt in Scotland.

So no more anxiety for me. I may never wear pants again. (well maybe when its VERY windy)

It's all in your mind in the end so just go for it.

Chris.
