I don't have any problem with the English. Though it can be annoying when the commentators on TV introduce English competitors as "English" and Scotish ones as "British"!

This works both ways mate, as every bloody thing that the scots can put "scottish" infront of they do. 'RSPCA', becomes 'SSPCA', 'NHS' becomes 'NHS Scotland', 'British gas' becomes 'Scottish Gas'... and thousands of other examples. And don't get me started on the scottish parliment... oh wait where is the english parliment?... THERE ISN'T ONE!!!!! PAH PAH.....

By the way I'm from edinburgh, scotland

(originally from long eaton [Breaston really. but long eaton is my nearest town], nottingham - so that guy from chilwell will know where i'm from)

I'm not British, so pardon for intruding.

About the Scotish/English animosity:

Didn't the English invade Scotland? I seem to remember that the English gave parts of Scotland to members of the English Aristocracy. If I was a Scot, I'd be a bit upset about it (even today) that's just natural. If I were Tony Blair, I'd give Scotland back to the Scots (if thats what a majority of the Scots want)

I may be wrong though, somebody set me straight

ps. where i live does not smell of "horsey poop"... just exhaust fumes from the smegging motorway i live right next to! (thats a "freeway" for all you americans). Seriously though, the air around here is very clean.

 

[ComradeBadger]

And they wonder why my town has an underage drinking problem.....

And yes, he owes me a pint. In fact, most of the mods do

Hmm, everything I know about the english and scots and all you buggers I've learned from watching highlander.. so not much at all really. Strangly I've never been to Europe, I live on the east coast of the states, been to every state on the east coast, California, Alaska, Hawaii.. outside of the states I've been to or lived in Okinawa, Japan.. Hong Kong.. South Korea... those kind of weird asian places, never europe though.. I'm considering whether I might want to move their after I graduate from highschool over here. People over their just seem less stupid then people in america, if you see the news from america you know bunch of numbnuts running around sueing food places for makin' em fat and whatnot It irks me... plus the RIAA can't get ya in europe .. hee

 

[ComradeBadger]

Aahh yes Alnwick, my brother lives there. I lived very close to it. Last time I was in Alnwick it was around Christmas and I nearly got arrested for riding my back into the back of a police car I had no lights on, no helmet, it was about 1am, I was drunk and stoned. They let me go in the end after a right bollocking but they only let me go cos they knew my brother

The rivalry started between England and all the contries around it when England and all the countries around it became countries.
