Well Ham, I think people respond to my kilts because I am an eccentric while you don't get response because they recognise that you are Hamish, Godfather of the kilted world, recognised leader of kilted men world wide, possesor of the worlds formost Kollection of Kilts, and general man-not-to-be-messed-with.(sounds like a super hero tag line if I ever heard one) I suspect that when people see you they dont respond because 1)they are afraid you'll make them wear a kilt, or 2)they're hoping thhat if they leave you in peace you'll put in a good word with Howie on their behalf.

(but thhen again, it could just be my overactive imagination again)
