I heard an interesting one yesterday.

Some English authority was saying (on Perth talkback radio) that the proposed Britain Day was a great idea. (he was an official from the UK being interviewed on the radio). He was asked when it should be celebrated.

And he said......."well of course it should be celebrated on ...St Georges Day".

I couldn't believe it - I cringed as I was driving along and waited for the calls of protest to come in...

I don't consider myself British, I consider myself Scottish so how would I expect English people to have to consider themselves to be British?

Apart from that you can call yourself whatever you like. I certainly couldn't give a ****.
It not just English that class Britain as england it happens everywhere people ask are you English and your talking to them in the broadest scottish accent its a tough one for me because i was born in England but brought up in Scotland have a broad Scot's accent so i tend to say yeh im from the UK.

People tend to think the Scots have a huge problem with the english but in my experience its not the case half my family is English the other Scottish its never been a problem.

You sound like David Brent - "I couldn't care whether they are brown, white, yellow (We have a lot of good chinese workers here). I employed a Greek once...he was good. Well he he was useless actually...."

that is not the case, my best pal is from Erskine so I doubt very much I have a hatred for scots. however binky has wound me up before and the fact he/she is scottish has nothing to do with it.
