Well, it IS true. Joel Send a noteboard - 20/11/2012 08:12:13 PM
Even though he is Scottish...

But Legolas is right; watching the Brits annually mope about their Wimbledon drought for years got more uncomfortable the longer it lasted.

So, I found this video explaining the differences between The UK, Great Britain, England, etc. LordPerrin - 19/11/2012 07:18:13 PM 1268 Views
Great Britain is an island containing England, Scotland and Wales. Joel - 19/11/2012 08:07:35 PM 847 Views
Is that why Andy Murray is getting credit for being British? *NM* Dark Knight - 19/11/2012 08:46:45 PM 491 Views
Ideally, yes; most likely, no. Joel - 19/11/2012 08:55:22 PM 829 Views
They keep saying "the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since 1938" Dark Knight - 19/11/2012 10:12:44 PM 824 Views
Mostly that's an indication of just how desperate they were before that happened. Legolas - 19/11/2012 10:30:40 PM 801 Views
Plus he is British snoopcester - 19/11/2012 10:49:38 PM 828 Views
I do believe I said so in my post, yes. Legolas - 19/11/2012 11:00:05 PM 849 Views
Barely so, I would say. snoopcester - 19/11/2012 11:14:08 PM 831 Views
But Scotland is a different country than England, yes? Dark Knight - 20/11/2012 12:34:07 AM 837 Views
The UK is one country, technically. Stephen - 20/11/2012 10:57:03 AM 797 Views
Yes and no. Mostly no. snoopcester - 20/11/2012 10:59:10 AM 829 Views
Because country is a difficult term. Rebekah - 20/11/2012 02:20:42 PM 869 Views
Only because the UK makes it one snoopcester - 20/11/2012 09:47:28 PM 770 Views
So would you say Dark Knight - 20/11/2012 04:21:36 PM 698 Views
Kind of, but not precisely. It's probably the easiest way to look at it, though. *NM* Rebekah - 20/11/2012 06:23:34 PM 478 Views
I am about as Anglophile as they come, as I dare say you may have noticed... Legolas - 20/11/2012 07:35:36 PM 690 Views
Yes snoopcester - 20/11/2012 09:35:54 PM 855 Views
Now you just had to go and remind me... Legolas - 20/11/2012 09:49:41 PM 863 Views
I'm speechless. snoopcester - 20/11/2012 10:08:53 PM 866 Views
What does it say about Belgium... Legolas - 20/11/2012 10:21:54 PM 794 Views
Something good, I'm sure? snoopcester - 22/11/2012 12:13:06 AM 851 Views
I find that hard to believe. majander - 21/11/2012 04:08:51 PM 801 Views
Can I be a pedant for a minute? Stephen - 20/11/2012 11:02:48 AM 900 Views
you can snoopcester - 20/11/2012 01:07:39 PM 833 Views
Re: you can Stephen - 20/11/2012 05:11:04 PM 853 Views
Well, it IS true. Joel - 20/11/2012 08:12:13 PM 836 Views
I didn't say uncomfortable, I said funny. Legolas - 20/11/2012 08:19:32 PM 772 Views
True, but it always felt very awkward to me, even when I considered mens tennis worth watching. Joel - 01/12/2012 05:10:21 PM 927 Views
The Andy Murray issue that riles us Scots is.... majander - 21/11/2012 03:57:44 PM 815 Views
As a Kiwi import to Scotland, that's always amused me. Rebekah - 21/11/2012 04:33:34 PM 774 Views
I thought we all knew that wasn't true by now? snoopcester - 21/11/2012 10:49:04 PM 796 Views
If you can call it credit *NM* Elaine - 20/11/2012 04:42:10 PM 471 Views
*NM* Rebekah - 20/11/2012 06:24:35 PM 443 Views
Well, yes. But the reason I put this up... LordPerrin - 19/11/2012 09:43:53 PM 780 Views
Not all Scots dislike being called British. Only the Nationalist ones. Tim - 20/11/2012 07:34:32 PM 809 Views
Well, that is more reasonable then. Joel - 20/11/2012 08:07:18 PM 848 Views
Uh, what? Rebekah - 20/11/2012 08:55:12 PM 735 Views
Oh dear, you had to ask *NM* snoopcester - 20/11/2012 08:58:52 PM 443 Views
Haven't you seen Braveheart? *NM* Dark Knight - 20/11/2012 09:12:21 PM 473 Views
Independence from England. Joel - 24/11/2012 01:37:11 PM 882 Views
The point I'm guessing Rebekah is referring to, and it's a fairly important one... Legolas - 28/11/2012 07:20:11 PM 745 Views
I'm not sure they really work at all snoopcester - 28/11/2012 10:50:54 PM 779 Views
And over here. Stephen - 29/11/2012 01:36:01 AM 705 Views
Except that England did, however briefly, conquer and control Scotland. Joel - 01/12/2012 04:55:08 PM 787 Views
Re: Not all Scots dislike being called British. Only the Nationalist ones. DomA - 21/11/2012 12:58:26 AM 816 Views
As a United Statesian, that bothers me a bit as well. Joel - 24/11/2012 01:45:54 PM 848 Views
Three edits to your message and you still got it wrong, Joel. Tom - 20/11/2012 09:43:12 PM 788 Views
I can be brief or strictly accurate: Which do you prefer...? Joel - 24/11/2012 01:25:27 PM 755 Views
