Secondly, some years ago I mentioned the Scottish characteristic of parsimony (as seen by most of the rest of the world). This was challenged by a Dutchman who pointed out that while the Scots had the reputation, it was the Dutch who had the application to excel in this endeavour. In fact, he pointed out that the Belgians had an old joke that copper wire was invented by two Dutchmen fighting over a penny. ******* The Scots borrowed lots of things from the Dutch, like golf.
