The other thread about clothing compliments reminded me of this. Has it ever happened to you? Or do you ask other people randomly?

It hasn't in the UK (I guess we are more shy!) but in Australia a lady stopped me and asked where my t-shirt was from and in the States someone on a bus asked where my boots were from.

I wish I had the nerve to ask strangers- especially if it's an item I've been looking for for ages!!
