Strange that those who regard themselves as English rather than British, and who talk about England whether they actually mean England or really mean the United Kingdom, seem to have a harder time adjusting to life in Scotland...

Even in Canada, I get the p*ss taken out of me by English controllers for being Scottish, and they seem to think it's hilarious (here's a newsflash - it isn't). When the shoe is on the other foot, it appears some people can't take it. Face up to facts - a move from Manch to Prestwick is no more of an uprooting than a move to Swaniwck. Your money goes further for housing than in Manch or Cheshire, your kids get into what most people regard as a better education system, there's less crime than in Manchester and you even get live near an airport from where the south of England is an hour's flight away. Oh, the hardship.
