Hey...I'm a Scot, I just wished our Welsh colleagues "Happy St. David's Day", I'm bursting for an Ulster fry-up, and I'm writing this in English using a Laptop which was built in Cherrywood Dublin.
Look on it this way guys...there will always be some rivalry, be it between each country which make up the British Isles, or even between the cities contained within.
I'm a Scot, but on every application form I have ever written, I have always written British.
I'm afraid historical difference doesn't come into it for a lot of people.
Their opinion depends on the last person they spoke to.
Historical? lol, their history lessons come from movies such as a Frenchman playing an immortal Scot being taught by an egyptian being played by a Scottish tax exile.
How about, another Scotish hero being played by a Northern Irish fella who is now a US citizen?
Not enough for you?
How about that well known American actor, who grew up in Australia who eventually produced, directed, & starred in the part of Scotland's most famous son William Wallace?
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who don't know their history have absolutely no bloody chance.
Let's face it, the closet most people get to a history book is to stop their kitchen table from wobbling.
I've got more to write, but I'm full of the booze & I've just stared at the screen for 10 minutes.
Oh...the booze was Australian...a watered down version of a Brit
