But as someone born in Brighton and living and working in Scotland for over 15 years I would say: I grew up with, lived and worked with people from Scotland, Wales and Ireland all around me. I had a Scottish primary school teacher. We all got on fine. In Scotland - I have found large numbers of English, Welsh and Irish people similarly living and working happily - as long as they don't try to do things " like we do them back home in .....". The British and Irish have worked together for hundreds of years to create Britain as we know it - warts and all - British Empire, etc etc, from the days of Brindley ( English ) and Telford ( Scottish ). So let's just all work together in a civilised manner. -- Malcolm nb hobbyhorse -- Malcolm .d
