Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.
Some of the "references" may be strange to members "Across-The-Pond" but those
in the U.S., with a good memory, will understand the T.V. commercials of the past.

When asked 'Why the Kilt?'
I respond-The why is F.T.H.O.I. (For The H--- Of It)
Twelve hit a nerve with me as well, save that it was me walking into a police station wearing a mask to pick up my firearms permit. Dang that was weird! (But everybody was pleasant -- congenial, even. I guess that even by then "mask madness" was starting to wear thin.)
Retrocomputing -- It's not just a job, it's an adventure!
Reminds me of that western serial - 'The Lone Ranger"
Who was that masked man ?
"YES SKIRTING MATTERS"!
"Kilt-On" -or- as the case may be "Skirt-On" !
WHY ?
Isn't wearing a kilt enough?
Well a skirt will do in a pinch!
Make mine short and don't you dare think of pinching there !

Certainly the one about drawing cash from a human bank teller is pure nostalgia for us. Can't remember when I last did that, or when I last wrote a cheque. With the coming of Covid, we can make payments of up to £100 with a contactless bank card, and some traders are no longer accepting cash. With a mobile phone, with its extra layers of security, there appears to be no upper limit.
I think the smallest contactless payment I ever made was about 70 euro cents at the entry barrier to the gents' toilettes in Marseille St-Charles station -- they must have a very obliging payment processor....

For larger organisations, debit card transactions can be on the order of 5c per transaction. There's a one-time set-up cost and then you plug the internet in and It Just Works. Now credit cards, those are f*ing expensive to process.
