Well. Let me just say this about that. The Welsh, by movie stereotype, are made out to be unwelcoming or suspicious of strangers, like rural folk might be made out to be in the US. Now the Scots are made out to be fastidious which carries over to watching one's expenditures, and so they are not cheap but are labeled stingy. The slang term "Scottish" as a pejorative means stingy. These traits have served them well though. Hundreds of Scottish explorers, doctors and engineers(ever wonder why StarTrek chose a Scot to be ship's engineer? One stereotype among others) have made key contributions to society. David Livingstone, Joseph Lister(founder of modern antiseptic surgery), James Simpson (discoverer of chloroform), William Cullen (designed a system of artificial refrigeration at University of Glasgow in 1748), Mungo Park, the list goes on.

DISCLAIMER: Just sayin'.

> we are actually a pretty decent bunch by and large

Absolutely! I only mentioned a few of the famous Scots, not wanting to make a long post. There are so many greats from UK and the US. Was asked about stereotypes, which are, by definition, going to be wrong.

I was reminded of an amusing incident during Livingstone's Zambesi Expedition that was almost like a scene out of the Caine Mutiny strawberries incident.

One of the expedition members was left alone at their base camp to watch the stores of supplies while the others went up river to explore. On their return, they found that some pounds of sugar had disappeared from their stores which they kept in a shed. The poor bastard who had been left there alone was more often than not laid up with malaria, and the natives and Portuguese at the location knew of the stores as well. They had an investigation and found him negligent. He was accused of sharing the sugar with the Portuguese who were then the colonial power on the Zambesi, and who it should be said were very gracious in assisting the expedition obtain local provisions. The expedition member was sent home for not minding the sugar.
