It beats me why people don't comment on useful things like this, instead preferring to focus on absolute guff.

We prefer to see it as thrifty. Go to Poznań and Kraków and you'll find stingy people :)

How much will yopu pay me to answer that?

Interestingly, it is historically based in Polish culture. The Scots had a huge population in Prussia/Poland during 16th/17th/18th centuries, and were often merchants and travelling salesmen. They were despised by many local merchants because they (allegedly) by-passed customs and trading laws and undercut the locals. They were occasionally noted as being "worse than jews' in their economic dealings.

I picked it up in the polish supermarket in Partick, it's quite a good read, and quite cool how they have all the articles in both languages.
