Hi, Cotty, I'm loathe to perpetuate cultural stereotypes - at least most of the time.
But, I used to live in the City of Kitchener (named after Lord Kitchener, the man who developed the concentration camp, and perfected it in and after the Boer War), Ontario, Canada. It used to be called Berlin, but in WWI they decided to change the name for patriotic reasons - good call on "Kitchener", eh? <vbg> But I digress. There was and continues to be a large German population in Berlin/Kitchener. I had many friends whose families originated in Schwabia. "Economical" is a very polite description of them. <g> And yes, more "economical" than the Scots, I'd say... Hans knows of what he speaks on that score. <vbg> BTW, hi, Hans (now that I've insulted the hell out of you <g>). Welcome to the list! cheers, frank Cotty wrote: > >(I am a > >Swabian guy - Swabians are even more economical than the Scottish) > > Just a minute. Is this possible? > > Hi Hans.
