Guys, as someone currently sitting in India, I can tell you that the experience listed by Hamish above and decried by others is not limited just to Scotland. I am most disappointed that the homogenization of the world is occurring. Having traveled the world and found a Dunkin Donuts in the old city of Prague and finding a McDonald's on Red Square in Moscow, to finding a Pizza Hut, KFC and McDonald's in Hyderabad. Local charm and flavor is disappearing to make way for ease of use and the quick dollar. It is a shame really. And to make matters worse, we do it to ourselves. As long as the consumer is looking for the cheapest price regardless of quality, we will continue down this long slide.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon
