    I suppose I agree with that, otherwise I'd be logged out and working.

        Yeah, but it's not a Scottish thing, you look at the South East and it's Welsh, Irish, Geordies, Scousers, Mancs. This is where the money is and if it wasn't, I wouldn't be here.

          well, I have a lot of loyalty to the place of my birth, but my number one loyalty is to my immediate family. So I have no compunction about putting one well before the other

                  Only for those people who promise not to work with undue care and attention.

                    That's fine, you made a choice to put the welfare of your country way down your list of priorities. I did too. These are personal choices.

                    But we then lose any right we have to take umbrage and get all Scottishly patriotic whenever there's a Scottish discussion. We certainly have no right to be anti-English, since they have benfitted us personally, not oppressed us. We have a duty of care to be cosmopolitan in outlook and cast the Scots in a better light than they get typically. And this means accepting their faults too.

                      I'm no England hater. I only smiled when Croatia scored their third.
