So I apologize to any fledgling kilt wearers out there who may be reading this, or any other of the "should I wear" type threads on this forum, looking for support.
Ahem. We are talking Vienna here in Europe not Houston Texas. There are no doubt different emphasis on standards of dress between continents. It is not a matter of right and wrong or vice versa, but nevertheless what is acceptable in one continent is inevitably different on another and demonstrably so. An honest opinion has been asked for and honest opinions have been given from all points of view and some honest opinions are even based on Scottish and indeed Viennese experiences so I don't think I need a Texan to apologise for my views thank you.I can do that all by myself should the occasion arise.
