Only in Scotland can you climb a mountain or walk through any fishing village and total strangers will without fail look you in the face and say "aye" to you before you've asked them any question.
No where else have I experienced this strange phenomenon and this has led me to constantly climb mountains safe in the knowledge that all strangers will instantly provide their approval on any subject matter that happens to be going through my brain at the time.
This method of instant subconcious approval can be useful for so many things such as "is it okay to blow my overdraft", "should I buy that shiny ipod", "can I really afford that holiday"......etc.
Be wary though as this phenomenon can have certain drawbacks if, for example, you decide to go climbing in pink chequered stay-pressed slacks and subconsciously ask yourself "do I look fab & groovy in these?" whereupon your ESP gifted passer bye will without fail say "aye" thereby convincing yourself that you're the Brad Pitt of the mountains when in fact you're actually the Sad Tit of them.
