You may take our lands
You may take our oil
You may take anything you can lay your hands on
But you will never take us seriously
That's why we don't like you
Sorry, just spent a few days in England (nice people really, just glad to get home)

Oh and btw - I've seen plenty of 'jock bashing' passed off as banter on here, so don't start with the double standards.

i once heard a comedian comment on the relationship between NZ and Aus, and between Canada and USA.
they were laughing about how one side, as a nation, were apparently consumed with hatred for the other, and would sit back revelling in what they perceived to be this all out hatred and imagining the mutual loathing... when in fact the other side couldn't care less, had no interest in the other side, and didnt waste a single moment even thinking about them....some were even unaware of the supposed conflict
it is a bit like the notion of a tortoise hating a person
this is the same situation with the english and scots...we couldn't care less.
while many scots seethe with rage at the english you would be hard pressed to find an english person who gives a toss.
