Tartan Recognition
Yesterday I went to meet some friends that are looking to buy a new house and they wanted my opinion on some of the repairs needed (they had another contractor coming and wanted me to see if their pricing was honest). I went wearing my Black Watch (kind of freaked out the other contractor, he kept looking sideways at me as if I was going to explode or something ) and after the initial surprise of seeing a man in a kilt, their realtor asked me what clan the kilt was as she is a Cunningham and some of her male relatives are Andrews Society types.
After the site visit my friends and I went to lunch at a sub shop and while we were standing in line waiting to order the sammich builder looks up from behind the counter, loks me up and down and says "Black Watch, right?" I was pleased to see some recognition not only for the kilt but of the actual tartan!
All in all it was a good day!
