    Kilted Firefighter,

    No, in my OP I wasn't wanting to resurrect Jock's thread, and I certainly wasn't meaning to upset anyone.
    All I meant to do was point out certain observations, such as Because we are such a diverse crowd and see things so very differently, is easy to upset each other as we come from totally different backgrounds, and kilts are viewed in different ways, from every day nearly mundane, to an adventure!

    This difference is largely catered for in the different parts of this forum, for instance those who like "Utility" kilts can discuss under that heading, as can "Traditional" under that heading.
    The only place we really seem to get into hot water is the "General kilt Talk".......as we all read this section and come at it from different directions.
    I was merely meaning that we have different views on the same subject, and I think (!) these views are unlikely to change....therefore unlikely to be reconciled.
    This could be the reason that subjects can go off the rails at times, but doesn't answer how to avoid such.

    Very best ,
    Richard.

    Looking back at the threads prior to this I have come to one conclusion:

    Some folks are not wearing their kilts enough. If they were wearing kilts at all, and more often they would find that they are much more relaxed, can work, play and do whatever longer, easier and without getting tired nearly as quick. The AC (air conditioning) that the kilt provides is of tremendous benefit as I found while walking around Orlando when the smartphone said it was 91F but feels like 105F. There are things a lot more important in life than to worry about what direction a thread goes.
    I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots. Einstein (maybe)

    Sadly like many on this forum, I'd Agree, We don't wear the kilt enough because we can't, normally because of work. But like Jock says there is no reason to wear them all the time.

    For the UK temperature is not a reason, although it's looking good for later this week.

    For a variety of reasons, my next kilt wearing will be on the week of the 1st to the 5th of August at social events at my sailing club, and on the 7th of August displaying a model railway in Norfolk UK, that model was built on the Isle of Tiree.
