From Brampton, Canada
Just started wearing my new kilt on Monday. I love it, except trying to get into my MINI and drive. I really need to practice doing that without getting all bunched up. I've gotten a lot of looks, and just a few comments. A nice old lady asked me what regiment I was in while checking out at the grocery store. I had to tell her that I wasn't in a regiment and that I just like wearing kilts. It was interesting because when she said she noticed my Welsh dragon belt bulk and matching sporran, I noticed her Welsh flag key chain. Lol, what are the odds.

Greetings from Vancouver, 'way out ont the We{s}t Coast!
EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

Welcome. I have performed in Brampton back when they had an outdoor Shakespeare festival in the park beside City Hall. Nice town.

Hi, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
Good to know that you encountered a Welsh lady while wearing your Welsh dragon accoutrements.
What tartan are you wearing? Welsh National, by any chance?
You haven’t given us a clue as to your real name, but you certainly aren’t a nobody. Perhaps you want to reconsider your handle.
Regards,
Mike
