    Is this good or bad .. your thoughts please

    The wife and myself teach music as well as play in our 'folk' band. We work from home. The day before yesterday I had a new pupil starting. All though they don't live that far away, the weather was terrible so his mother run him up in the car. They have obviously never met me or certainly seen me in my Cilt. When I opened the door and asked them in we said hello to each other and she immediately then said,'What a lovely Cilt you have there... They are becoming very popular and fashionable these days .. It looks lovely'. We then went on to music matters.
    I can't make my mind up if it would be for the better or worse if Cilts/Kilts really do start to get that popular and fashionable. Whats your thoughts.

    I would be quite happy if kilts become more popular.
    I would not be happy at all if they become "trendy". I don't follow trends.

    I'd be glad if Kilts became popular. If they become trendy you'll be able to tell the posers from the true blues though!

    If kilts became more popular, it would only be more evidence of how Gaelic culture has impacted the world.

    When--not if-- kilts grow in populrity it will be a sure sign that men are regaining their sanity.

    Good thing I think.

    The only change kilts becoming trendy will bring is less hassles for us.

    I get the impression that men are regaining their sanity. This can only be a good thing.

    It will be a good thing, but we will see a lot of cheap, low-quality knock-offs, worn badly, hit the market, with inaccurate tartan reproduction and lots of MacTablecloths. It will be incumbent on those in the know to represent the kilt well.

    How about "irrelevant?"

    I don't see that it really matters (to me, anyway) if they become popular and/or fashionable.

    Would that make us the "revolutionary vanguard"?

    Oh dear, I'm not sure if I would wish for that!
