I like the scottish & welsh
 

Anyone coming onto this site would assume that we've a load of bigots on board.

I, for one, would like to state that I like the majority of scots/welsh - just like I lke the majority of the english.

I don't like bigotry - whether it be nation vs nation or the north/south "divide". At school it was pointed out that I am British, not just English or cumbrian etc. Does it really matter where in the UK you're born. If so why aren't you from "this street" or "that street" if you're splitting hairs.

And I *really* can't stand the, " I support 2 teams my team & the team that's playing against England" mentality. Whenever the other local teams play their international games I always want them to win (unless they're playing England, then I hope they lose 27-nil!).

When DC was an F! driver I always cheered him on. Though Andy Murray can go screw himself as he has repeatedly said that he is not British, but Scottish only. Though, I did support Greg Radzesiski(sic) more than I supported Henman as Greg chose to play for Britain as opposed to just happening to be born here.

Being born somewhere doesn't make you better than anyone else, but your attitude may make you less of a decent person.



Just my 2-pence worth.

So it's not just me then.

But then I'm not going to get all touchy-feely like Dirk - I hate everyone. Except English people obviously, all of whom are, utterly without exception, good, decent, honest, hardworking, trustworthy, balanced, sensible people.

Re: I like the scottish & welsh
 

May I remind you who the present member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath is?

But I suspect you already know - and I suspect that you're further aware that he's not exactly very English at all.

You may also know what other minor task he fills his time with.

Clearly a reaction to the Scotland and Wales thread.

aw bless. Doesn't it just leave you with a warm feeling -- or has my bag come adrift again?

I've lived in Wales, and Ireland. And i visit Scotland pretty much every month. And the winners are ---drum roll. Without doubt the Scots. I get up there when ever I can, and I've never had a bad experience up there.

I have 1 Irish grandparent, 1 Welsh grandparent and 2 English grandparents. I was born in England, I'm English and proud of it. Equally I'm proud, lucky, to have Scottish and Welsh neighbours.
