I suppose this continues from my last post in the 'Regrets' thread.
I know there are a few here who have no lineage reasons for wearing kilts (such as myself), and that Xmarks welcomes all who elect to being kiltwearers, or intending kiltwearers.
I'm hoping that none of us feel like 'outsiders', among a naturally overwhelming saturation of members who have a Celtic background.
I feel more like an affiliated spirit of their traditions.
My avatar's motto reads 'Any Dream Will Do', which roughly translates to 'If it pleases me, that's all I want'.
It pleases me, (not to try to pass myself off as being anything other than who I am - I'm naturally proud of being English), to be diverse in my choice of public uniform. Therefore I feel more of a collaborator.
I was wondering if any others 'in my boat' simply read posts feeling that they will not be respected as much should they make any comment.
I've already become 'Dunce Of The Week' by thinking that a flower badge is an actual badge (in modern terms). I don't mind this - it's all part of the learning curve.
This thread probably won't gather many responses, and is simply to say how much I appreciate being here.
