oh my goodness, they are still at it yet again.
and the rather wee-minded pettiness displayed by some scot's with regard to "british equates english" statement - is not only appalling, but pathetic also. but what is surely more pathetic is this same bunch of amoebae accusin the english for their lack of sense of humour.
i'm not aware that the "support anyone but england" line is a tonge-in-cheek wind-up. that sounds more like baiting. especially so when uttered by some wee tennis playing bairn.
anyhow, are the english to be blamed for the "british/english" equation? when england happened to be the more/most powerful nation - with its own navy to boot - for yonk's?
at the same time when the scots emselves were busy slaughterin each other: the lowlander's v highlander's, the treacherous campbells v the mctavishes [hey, that's, erm, yers truly] and just anybody else, stealing one another's sheep near the borders.. etc etc..
