Yeah. Doesn't make it any less infuriating though.

What is my argument exactly? You seem to be the one twisting my words from "british" to "english". My original point was that Scots are just as guilty of calling British things their own as the English are, which you are suggesting is exclusive to the English.

The bottom line is, you ventured onto this forum room to have an argument and didn't like the banter that was going on between established cross-Hadrian's wall relationships. The fact that you have joined many of the debates in a similar manner on many of the other country forums just suggests to me the original point, you have a chip on your shoulder and can't accept the fact that the majority of English people are sick of the threats of divorce and just want it over and done with.

We are perfectly happy with BritishExpats thanks very much. Though I do wonder some days that perhaps it is in need of a change! EnglishExpats.com springs to mind.

Something which you have yet to prove.

No, I did not venture here to start an arguement. I just ventured here to express my disgust at the attitude displayed towards my country. Any remotely patriotic person would do the same.

Perhaps you should check my profile as a few others agree with me. Not aware if you can see my karma, but if so give it a go.

Here is a quote from my first post in this thread.

Did it sound like I was starting an arguement?

FFS it is minor compared to the crap I got in Scotland. You have a very thin skin and seem obvlivious to the attitude some of your countrymen have.

Thin skin? That's actually funny because everyone who knows me says the opposite. I'm not defending everyone in Scotland, but Broad shoulders seems to think it's ok to have a go at Scotland. Like I said, I'm a patriotic person, so whenever someone starts talking a big steamy pile, I can't let it slide.

This and every other thread relating to Scottish independence have at least one Scottish person leaving the conversation due to the ignorance of others. Does that not tell you something?

While I am sorry if you "got crap" in Scotland, I have been on the receiving end of racial abuse by English people many times. In England and abroad. Scotland isn't perfect. Neither is England/Wales/NI/wherever.

I love haggis, it's brill.

Can't get a bloody half decent one here though.

Yeah. It tells me the Scots are thin skinned and have a chip on their collective shoulder.

I don't think I've ever had any... I'll stick with the British/English/Welsh/Irish/Scots* black pudding.

I agree completely on the haggis issue, it could well have been around in Scotland for centuries before it first appeared in an English book. Just because they hadn't learned to write up there doesn't mean they couldn't cook offal

Ignorance. Well, at least you have an appropriate username.

Anywho, I'm off to bed.

It would be like Queensland separating from the Australian Federation.

More ignorance.

I have no idea where the stuff came from originally. It's minging anyway.
