The Frugal Corner?

[Arlen]

Learning to play the pipes is difficult enough on a rock-steady quality set, and virtually impossible on a $135.00 **** set of crap!

I'm just going to make one request in all of this, and PiobBear here is just one example in many.
Can I request that people stop using the term ****.
i grew up with a lot of people whose parents were Pakistani but the children were Scottish through and through.
To me, **** is a very derogatory term that I heard enough of seeing my friends being abused as I was growing up.

Yes, some companies in Pakistan there produce cheap stuff and sell it to the unaware. So does almost every country in the world.
Some companies in Scotland produce dreadful, cheap Whisky and market it to the U.S and Canada as quality Scotch.

Thank goodness somebody finally brought that up. Good on ya Arlen. I've always found it distasteful as well.
