    be careful who you talk about

    Yesterday I spent manning a stall (but stop calling them that with you Americans) - a BOOTH! at our civic centre, it was to promote Scottish Country Dancing for Seniors Week. We had a display and I was there in a kilt, naturally.

    A lady came up to me, seeing the kilt, began to tell me that she sees a man walking up and down her road, always in a kilt, even in cold weather. She said she thinks he is a signwriter....

    I said 'what a nutter he must be'...I let her continue for a while then told her "that man is me..."

    We had quite a laugh about it.

    I have the same thing happen all the time. Being the only full-time(when not at work) kiltie in tulsa that I am aware of, I hear from people wherever I go about this other guy they saw in a kilt that looked just like mine. They swear up and down it was someone else until I get the when and where from them.

    they usually blush or try to make a joke, then shuffle off when they realise it was in fact me.

    Since there are a few of us kilted gents in Phoenixville, I get the opporite problem. People swear that they saw me in the grocery store or walking down the street or at the bank when it was one of our friends.
