Usually "I love your kilt" even if they have to chase after me to tell me. I figure that if they hike more than fifty yards out of their way, I should consider taking a few out for drinks. I've only had one say "I like your skirt" and that was Phoenix last weekend with my Daughter in a grocery store. She was very nice when I politely told her it was a kilt. She stopped said "hold on" backed around the corner and came back and said "I really like your kilt". I think the only negs I've ever got were where people were drinking. Go figure. O'Neille
