Interesting that Sean see's himself as Scottish and Turps see's himself as both Scottish and British. That's pretty much somes up the different feelings up here.
What am i? I'm Scottish and proud of it. I don't hate the English. or anyone else for that matter. I'm patriotic but i'm not a nazi.
I like the idea about considering ourselves citizens of the world.
so wishing you all peace, love, unity and respect
now somebody get some tunes going while i get the beer

A typically well laid out & clearly substantiated point being made there...

I'm
68.74% English
25% Scottish
12.5% Belgian

And proud
Who is English on here, and can honestly say they are not a mix of Viking, Angle-Saxon, Norman or Roman? Only the Welsh methinks

How did you find out those figures?????
Of my known family
My Dad's Mum was Scottish
My Dad's Fathers Father was Belgian
My Mum's, Mothers, Mothers Mother was Irish
There is a probable link to the Dutch going back before 16th century on my Mother's side
The remainder I will class as English. Though I can not vouch for the purity of any of it. Where would the BNP repatriate me to

im an irish nationalist but a british subject - i class myself as irish and never as british and i am patriotic about ireland
but each to their own at the end of the day its whatever floats ur boat

Its funny, the further away you get from somewhere, the less you localise your identity.
Like, being being from huddersfield or wakefield - when compared with being northern or southern (once you're the only two northerners in amongst a bunch of southerners the town distinction vanishes, you're both northern) - and so on - being english or irish, the distinction vanishes, you're still both british when you're in another country...
If you're a group of brits abroad, you're british! you're no longer from leeds and from glasgow.

The point was your history knowledge is as poor as your reading comprehension. Its well substantiated by the post you made. You came in and had a childish wee attack at me for a post which did not mean what you interpreted it to mean, I was not the only one who thought so either. Now you look rather silly, so you have to resort to the oneliners rather than address your mistakes. Maybe the relegation is affecting you more than you like to admit?
Do you even know where the pound coin quote comes from?

Hee hee, I would liketo see you go up to a bunch of Glasgwegian Celtic supporters overseas and call them Brits!!
LOL not even worth dignifying with a response.
As for the "childish wee attack at you"... don't flatter yourself. My point was very general, very straightforward and still stands. Often those who bang on tiresomely about patriotism & make such a big fuss and issue out of it do so because of insecurity.
Patriotism is fine, but banging on & making a big show of it all the time is vulgar, unnecessary & nauseating, as i have said all along in this thread.
haha ive a celtic sun towel for my holidays
but i know what u mean i dont think it would go down well being called a brit on holiday :|Hehe I wouldn't dare!!!! I got on a train with a bunch of them once and that was enough!
