Re: Iam English Because......
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...

It doesn't work...cos you just made it up. Where did you get this idea that the English had to be British? Who said it? Certainly no one in this thread. You're having an argument with yourself.
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?
The only thing that annoys the rest of the UK is when the English refer to Britain as England. And comments that English people make like we should just give the Scots independence if they want it. As if it's theirs to give!
Apart from that you can call yourself whatever you like. I certainly couldn't give a ****.

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.
