http://www.andymurrayometer.com/ :D 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... |
Re: Is Andy Murray British or Scottish?
I have no doubt he trained on British funded grounds but when he wins it'll be for Mel Gibson - YYYYYAAAAAWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNN!:zzz:

It's such a non-story this one.... a media construct. If he wins Wimbledon or not, he'll still be Scottish an British. Big deal.

On a personal note, I will never be British or European (Spit), I am English! 'British by birth, English by the grace of God' |
