The wife and I have been to several evening events this week and on most of them I have landed up with all the male components proping up the bar and leaving the women to have a good natter. On each occasion not one of them commented on my kilt. It might as well have been invisible. There was one chap however (built like a rugby prop forward)who said that he had a great respect for anyone who is proud of their culture/traditions etc etc. He even bought me a pint. I have to do some mucky jobs first thing today but as soon as they are done I shall be putting my kilt on and my wife has her friend calling around for some lunch.. My pal called around the other day and the first thing he said to me was ' thats the first time I've seen you in jeans in weeks'. I still got a bit of a way to go to full time kiltwearing but I intend to get there in the end. Derek
