Kilt too Short... Apparently

[Arnot]

In the last couple of weeks I have had two women tell me that my kilt was too short. One was probably in her eighties, the other was either late forties or maybe into her fifties. My kilts come to the top of the knee, right where I make them to go. Not too short.

The older woman said that it was too short and she should know as she was from Ayrshire.

The younger one said that it was too short and she apparently knew best as she said that she has Scottish heritage. She spoke with a Northwest English accent so that might or might not be true. She began to explain that thing about the kilt should touch the floor when kneeling. I told her that I was a kiltmaker and that I knew to what she was referring, but that I didn't do it that way. I got the impression that she didn't believe me (because of my American accent probably). She continued on so she could be right.

I didn't go into any more detail about why my kilt wasn't too short. Some people can't be told. I have come across people like this before, but never as close together as this.

How often doe this happen to others of the rabble?
