Accosted for NOT wearing a Kilt
I have been following interestedly the thread "Accosted for Wearing a Kilt".
Well, today was a first for me, being accosted by an English visitor, right here in Scotland in my home town, for not wearing a kilt.
I live near the English border so we are conditioned to meeting day trippers from England in town, at least 99% of whom know already that the kilt is not every day wear for most of us Scots.
This guy was on the town High Street, wearing a top emblazoned with a very prominent English St. George Cross and accosting people to ask in his English accent why we were not wearing kilts.
I admit to being caught out when he confronted me, demanding to know "Where is YOUR kilt today?", by my hurried reply that perhaps its a bit too cold for the kilt today. If I had anticipated this I would of course have pointed out that the kilt is a very warm garment but that for today I was required to wear the trousered uniform of the school bus driver. Next time that will be my answer.
