As someone who only knows the UK as a visitor or an observer....

What stands out the most about the UK and makes it such a unique place in the world, is that not only each country, but even down to each individual county, the people still have pride in, and have well preserved their own local heritages, while at the same time, joining together all these many diverse cultures and people to be as one great nation.


That being said...
I like nice people from anywhere.
Prejudice is everywhere...but the wise rise above it.
There are good people all over the world...
Unfortunately there are enough bad ones out there to give the whole lot of us a bad name right along with them.

Hey, I am not a racist or a bigot. I hate all of you equally...

Seriously though, I got called a racist (a word that is seriously abused) by a white woman on Christmas day because I refused to shake the hand of a black fella who approached me in the street. I just knew that what came next was humbug for cigarettes or money and wasn't entertaining any of it by giving him or the rest of his mob a way in.

I have spent a good amount of time in the UK and have friends here in Oz that have their roots in that part of the world. It seems to me that the Welsh, Scots and particularly the Irish have a much brighter outlook than the English.

I was born in Fareham on the south coast, My mum and dad are strong scottish born and bred.

Although I am probably classed as english, havin two very scottish parents and an entirely scottish family I say scottish.

We wouldn't have you anyway!

My Brother lived in London for years before emigrating to Australia. He's still a Scottsman, he's just adopted the Australian way of life.

I know my family history was pretty well documented from the 17th century onwards as we were tied upto my great grand father to certain land and industry, Additionally we are reputed to be linked to a local royalist estate from the civil war.

What my forefathers did during the war of the roses is unknown. but I just hope there was a big red rose on their banner.

Question

Why is the Lancashire rose red and the yorkshire rose white?

Because they are too tight to but any colour to fill it in.

The Yorkshire Rose is white because some tight fisted Manky Lanky sucked all the life blood out of it.

Thank God for the Pennines!
