The media stereotype might have the Scots as haggis-scoffing skinflints, but a new study shows that when it comes to laptops, they’re one of the big spenders around town.
The Queen visited the head offices of Vodafone in Newbury last week on 14 November – perhaps to make sure that she got hold of her Blackberry Storm :)
