I hope a lot of people do. Patching tubes isn't my favourite job, but it's not that bad, and gives you a nice feeling that you're not throwing away something that could easily be repaired. Also my favoured 50g inner tubes are too expensive to throw away without patching a few times (and still lighter and faster than a cheap inner tube even with 5 patches). My parents are both Scottish, which may be a factor.
