    Those are the best sort of comments. Especially after those weird days.

    A while back I was out and about in my Utilikilt black workman's and ran into a Goth kid in his Utilikilt black workman's. The kid was pretty openly smoking a joint. But I said hello and he just looked me up and down and turned away, didn't even return the greeting.

    Must have been like two women in the same dress at a party or something...or maybe that and olde fat man had stolen his "look."

    Other than that kid, I too get more compliments from male teenagers than any other group.

    Not to offend Ron, but he may have been thinking you were wantin' to share his "gold" or perhaps likely to whip out a badge. My guess is that he wanted neither.

    Could have been getting ready to toss his contraband when he turned away. Pretty common, his back towards you helps to keep you from seeing which way the toss is going.

    You don't quite look 60 ish in your pics. I have seen cops that look older,

    Anyhow this just illustrates that you meet the nicest people in a FREEDOM KILT. Change brands, Change your life

    I mean the scientific evidence in this thread is hard to ignore. In a UK you meet people dressed just like you huffing up illicit drugs probably mixed with insecticide and paint chips.

    In an Fk you meet polite young people who want nothing more than to enjoy a good old fashioned cigarette and compliment you on your fine FK.

    There has to be a lesson (and FK endorsement) in there somewhere

    I was of course joking. I have met fine people in my UK too.

    lol, like us goth kids can't have a fashion sense. I think I kinda surprised Dirk the first time he saw me in person.
