Run in with "Kilt Police"

[piperdown]

Right on! but...

I have never seen anyone wearing a Kilt with with pleats forward. Other than in pictures that is... Not sure how I'd handle it if I did.

You'd have to have a word... wouldn't you?

"One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?"

Poor Man! White socks as well... tishhhk!

I saw a guy in disneyland last month with the pleats forward. If I hadn't been on a bus, I would have taken the time to talk to him.
He was pretty young though...maybe he wanted to make a statement and knew exactly what he was doing??

I ran into this gentleman at Grand Central Station in NYC on a Tartan Day a few years back. I was actually speechless, which for me is highly unusual. We enjoyed a few moments and then went on our way.

Sadly, Jock, I think this is a perfect example of American manners (or lack thereof). I don't know why this is, but man Americans tend to like running around telling others what's right or wrong, according to their own particular way of thinking. I've found this to be true in virtually all circles, regardless of the common interest they share (such as hunting, sports, kilts, etc.), and it all classes of people.

We highly cherish the 1st Amendment in this country, unfortuantley some use it as an excuse for rude behaivor.

This old RAF Navigator was a very intersting man and I very much enjoyed talking with him. He flew 37 bombing runs in Germany, 1 to Norway and 2 in Burma, when he was sent to the Pacific Theatre after Germany surrendered.
We shared a lot of drams and I thanked him for his service. I always treasure my talks with fine old Veterans like this one.

I'm glad you otherwise had a good evening, and the opportunity to share an old Veterans memories ... that's worth any small headaches in my book!
