"It's not really a tartan then is it"
A funny thing happened to me a couple weeks ago. Mrs.crash and I were doing our shopping at a local farmers market and I was wearing my USA kilt in Wiklow County Crest tartan. A gentleman came up to me and said his wife wanted to know what tartan my kilt was. I told him and explained that Wiklow County was the part of Ireland that my family had come from. He said that it was nice that I observed my families heretage but that it " isn't really a tartan then is it" and turned and walked away from me.

Sometimes, Crash, we want to explain too much. The next time this happens just answer "Wicklow". You may get a puzzled look back, or you may get a "thanks, I'll tell her. she really likes it."

I thought of that afterward and I think I'll take that approach next time. It was kinda funny though.

If it's "not really a tartan" then what in h**l is it? A mongoose may be?

turns and walks away... classic. it is my belief, negative comments like this come from envious, angry pricks. inside they'd love to sport a kilt, but dont have the stones.
