Is Andy Murray British or Scottish?
As Wimbledon starts shortly, this is topical. We all know that according to the London-centric press that it will depend on how well he does, but you get cast your vote here:

British second...
European third if you must....
If some asks me if I'm British I normally answer something like - "yes, well Scottish, but yes"... I've no issue with being both, but if asked where are you from - I'll 100% answer Scotland...

Anyway most of his training in youth years was in Spain I believe 'cos Scottish / British coaches and facilities were shit.

He is Scottish!
On a personal note, I will never be British or European (Spit), I am English!

I had it pegged the other way round. Obvoiusly he belongs to Great Britain but if he wins hes exclusively Scottish. For gods sake, give them Gordon Brown and send em home with 50p.

I wish I could remember the name of the sprinter who said:
If you win, you're English
If you're second or third, you're British
If you're last, you're West Indian
If you cheat, you're black
If you win, you're English
If you're second or third, you're British
If you're last, you're West Indian
If you cheat, you're black
