There's something to be said for traditional craftsmanship. I would much rather pay more for a well-crafted Tank or a kilt from Bear (which is equal to a Tank!) because I know the qualtity is outstanding and I am getting my money's worth in a product that will be an heirloom to pass on to the kids.

My grandmother used to say that the Scots definition of being frugal was owning a small amount of possessions, but they were the best possessions money can buy, and that they would last a lifetime.

Cheers,

T.
