Don't forget that when Henman wins he is English and when he loses he is British. When Murray wins he is British and when he loses he is Scottish. You see, we English have mastered the art of bathing in reflected glory where available and shifting the blame when required. It's an ego-bolstering thing in the light of a general dearth of favourable sporting results. That is why we have won more and lost less than we actually have, if you see what I mean. For example, last night's result was a great British victory rather than an embarrassing English defeat. Now you Scottish and Welsh could be a bit more like us and try the same thing; take England's Rugby World Cup triumph and try to see it as as a great British victory for a change. Go one, give it a go - you know you can. Are you trying? No, you're not. You can't just can't do it, can you, and you're the poorer for it.
Anyone still with me?
