Did anyone see that piece on TV last night were a TV crew were out on the streets in Scotland to ask if any Jocks will support England in the world cup.

 

Needless to say the answer was an emphatic "Nay". This is no longer a suprize to me, but what was, was the fact that The Scotts ask, seemed to believe we would not support Scotland if England had fail to qualify and Scotland had. Yet without exception every single English person I have spoken to about this agree that they would support any of the home nations if they went to the finals and we didn't.

 

Also that scrawny Scotts tennis play said he'd support anyteam England were playing because he's Scotts. So the reporter said OH! so you don't want the Engish to support you at Wimbledon then? He didn't know what to say.

 

Why is it that the English believe us all to be British and see the rivalry in the same way as that between friends. Yet the Scotts and the North Welsh seem to hate us and each other?

 

 

I'm not trying to start a war. I'm genuinley curious, but please don't quote history of 1200 to 1400 and blob, Because britain for the most part since James the first of Engand (he was James the ? of Scotland) has been run by Scott Monarks or Ploiticians. Lets Face it we got a Scott in Number 10 & 11
