They do say a Yorkshireman is just a Scotsman with the generosity squeezed out of him.

I did not know that was possible!

There are more French than English on this site? Ooh la la!

That doesn't of course, take into consideration all the 'suburbs' of Englands, such as Scotland and Ireland and Wales...(covers head and ducks under the table).....

Which brings to mind the ancient joke about how copper wire was invented - two Scotsmen fighting over a halfpenny...

And thus WW3 was started

Actually, given I'm half Scottish, and only quarter English, I think I voted wrong! But I've always lived in England, so... :shrugs gallicly:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that shares his vote with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That voted with us in desertgrandma's poll!
