Well today was a blast. Went to the shops with my beautiful wife, my super son (20y/o) and gorgeous daughter (2y/o - as previously seen on show us yer pics!). I was wearing my Black Watch and usual scruffy bloke stuff.

Met a nice English Bloke who came up to me to ask why I wasn't wearing a sgian dhu and what was the legality there-in. Told him that as it's a three inch blade it's OK but the hassle of explaining to the 'Old Bill' why I need to carry it is the hard part and combined with a personal aversion to youth knife crime means I never wear one. He told me he used to own a factory that made ladies jackets and skirts and Black Watch was thier most popular line... I didn't take it personally.

I next met a Scottish woman who rushed up to me to ask if I'd been watching 'the game' (Scotland / Norway) when I replied 'No' she looked me up and down with disgust and said "yurrr not even scottish". I acceded to this without further debate. Couldn't really be arsed!

Proceeded to the Supermarket and fortunately the spinning heads and double takes didn't require any immobilisation of vertebral fractures or emergency Resus. One bloke was right on the edge of verbal abuse but I think he bottled it when returned 'the eye'!! No actual confrontation but a look is a look and it was enough to stress me. I hate people who look down thier noses at others particularly when those others are me.

Beautiful wifey and I went out later to watch a pub gig. Decided to go in trousers following the afternoon's near miss. Didn't fancy a repeat while I might possibly be full and my lovely wife thought it better not to 'push the envelope' (and other PC management speak) She's right of course. It would probably have gone horribly pear shaped. Wish I had gone Kilted though as a great night was had in what in hindsight would have been a very kilt friendly environment.

No accounting for some peoples tastes eh?

So wassup with somefolks?... It must be just MY midlife crisis!!
