    I, who am always kilted, take public transport every time I travel to London (1¼ hourse each way on the mainline train), and on buses and The Underground once in the capital. Never have I received any unkind or abusive comments whilst doing so. Actually, I see no difference in travelling kilted on public transport, to walking kilted along the street!

    But honestly Hamish, as much as I respect your being and know of you from this site. You being judged "kilted" on a train and me being judged "kilted" on a train would be two different things. Just because of age difference. I know when I see an older gentleman somewhere, I don't question what he wears or how he acts because I know simply, he was raised in a different era or period in time. We as humans were brought up differently and have been by each generation. With that comes change, so to say that we'd be judged the same I, respectfully, disagree with you.
