twelve years of age !...
They had absolutely no interest in seeing something, which to them would
have been new... unfortunately, this time the expletives burst forth,
moments before I stood up in disgust and left the building...
In the country where I live, the situation is no better.
Then, Why Scotland is the exception?
Scotland and Scots have a proud history of innovation and
invention . . .
Ask any Scot and s/he will inform you that everything, ultimately, was
invented by a Scot.
After doing that pick a citizen from another, similarly small country
and suggest that, perhaps, something was NOT
invented by someone from their country and run like hell-for-leather!
Joking apart; the Bulgarian pepper roaster was invented by that
well-known Scot, Ivan Ivanov.
