What puzzles me with all this is … All those people who are so PROUD of being English, Scottish, British … whatever .. well, it baffles me a bit.
When I say I’m british, I can’t say I’m English because my grandfather was scottish, grandmother (supposedly) French, my father was welsh & my mother english – what does that make me? (polite answers only please)
I’m proud of some of my history and horrified by other parts but it is history and we can only learn by it. I think the british isles gains alot from the fact that it is multi-cultural but I am not proud of the way our government and some of the british people behave.
On the whole, although I gripe I know there are far worst places to live.
