The Scots ARE Tight : P
People always told me the Scottish were tight with money, and I never believed them because I'm a pretentious liberal minded thing who thinks cultural stereotypes are, like, soooo wrong.

Then I visited Bangkok with a glaswegian friend. Not only did he return to our table from his toilet-stall fumble with a prostitute to spout the classic line:
"Thinking about it, I'm not sure that was a real woman... so I only got a blowjob in case"
so afraid was he of losing a few pennies that he then made the other 5 of us wait around outside the (now closed) 'ping-pong sex show bar' while he followed said man-wo-man off into the night trying to get change.

It took two hours, but he got his change.

(PS, to the guy who paid for it in Barcelona, that was probably the same prostitute my brother terrorised on his holiday by chasing her down the road screaming 'what have you done with the last ten years of your life??'... he's a strange one)
