"There's an old saying: "Give a piece of metal to an Englishman and he'll make something (possibly cobby and) functional. Give a piece of metal to a German, and he'll make something efficient. Give a piece of metal to an Italian and he'll make something beautiful". "

Give a piece of metal to a Scot and he'll make a gun and shoot the Englishman.
