Woodrot - I note you use the phrase "your England" this implies you are not English. Where do you hail from and what are the strengths & weaknesses of your mother country?

Noted - but I have always described myself as British so as to claim the (reflected) credit of other nations of the UK

[El Pibe]

According to the contamporary diaries of Niwe Cnotta Shakespeare doesn't qualify either because he's

a) a woman

b) a patsy for Christopher Marlowe and

c) a committee of rosicrucian illuminati

Oh you can have them, Marmora Man. I don't hold any brief for the "Wha's like us" brigade. Scots v good at providing missionary and military enforcement of The Empire's commercial rapine.

(N.B. Other simplistic generalisations are also available...your mileage may vary etc.)

[woodrot]

sadly, the scotch were the muscle for the glorious days of Empire, when the known world was painted pink and the union flag dripped with the blood of its victims

*little bit of politics there*
