Yes, very strange posts Anne. I could ask why the English hate the Scots so much? I'm sure many Scots love the RF, I'm just not one of them.

Talking of publish something quietly, I read in Vanity Fair earlier this week that a letter from Edward, Prince of Wales, will be up for auction on 10th of this month. In this letter he is talking of the affair that Prince Albert had with Lady Loughborough, the Australian socialite who was married.

Bertie had to give up his association with Lady L as King George had told him so to do if he wanted to be the Duke of York.

Interestingly, though Bertie fell head over heels in love with Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon she, apparently, did not reciprocate immediately.

It all proves the point, to me at least, that everyone deserves to be happy. Let he who is without sin...

Bobbi, one person saying they dislike the RF does not mean the whole country do. Sure there are many English, Welsh and N Irish who also think they are a drain on the public purse.

All true Maggie. We haven’t even mentioned the rugby from yesterday . That’s how nice we are .

[choux]

anne, I think other people have to say you are nice, it is not down to you ;)

[anneasquith]

Awe, come on, we are ( Scots) in a minority here :-)

Freeeeedooooommm!

They do seem an aggressive lot up there in the North of the UK. Not a good advert for tourism - fight, fight, fight. ;0)

Thankfully I’ve never said I dislike the Scots because I don’t and why would I , maybe it’s because the two we have here are both against the RF , but I still haven’t had a realistic answer to why you’re against them Maggie, there are many thing a drain on the public purse , free university in Scotland, free bus fares for 5-22 and so it goes on but the latter are rarely met with such vitriol as that of the Royals , is it because of the history yous have with England ?

[middlemarch]

Well, I'm Scottish and these moaning nationalists really annoy me.

[pat2604]

Reinforce the wall!!

[ToraToraTora]

I'm not bothered that people like maggie hate the RF, that's their choice but I wish they'd stop it with the "drain on resources" BS. The RF pay for themselves hundreds of times over. End of.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m one of those who say let them have their independence , their own army etc and their own PM , the sooner the better

Maggie, I don't think they are the same. I see the monarchy as probably well past it, but like the individuals.
It literally had never crossed my mind that there was animosity between the Scots and English, until I joined AB... and constantly saw bitterness from some Scots. I wasn't brought up that way. My stepdad would always support Scottish sports teams as "neighbours". It was actually quite a surprise to me.

[pat2604]

Middlemarch. I think that's true for the majority of your lovely countrymen. I have a half Scottish daughter in law. But she escaped from the Highlands
when she was young. Still has family up there. Lovely people.

That's me too!

The Scots are wonderful people on a one-to-one, generous and considerate in thought and in spirit, though perhaps somewhat parsimonious though only a quarter of being Dutch.

However when it comes to being a national clan, and when it comes to war aka sport, they can be a proverbial pain-in-the-sphincter.

[Bobbisox1]

I’m in agreement with both Pat and Pixie ( that sound like a double act ) haha

[choux]

I always describe myself as British, not English. Never heard a Scot say that.
