A lot of the Welsh & Scottish have a deep routed hatred for the English, they definitely wouldn't like being called English.
I'll always remember being on a lads holiday in Ibiza. We spent the entire week with some lad from Scotland we'd made friends with in our hotel (named Fran, with ginger hair & freckles! Honestly!) All week he was our best mate, then on the last night I'm walking back to the hotel with him when we bump into some Welsh girl. As if I weren't even there they both discussed in depth how much they truly hated the English.![]()
My Dad went to the Italia '90 World Cup and when the Scottish were knocked out the competition they then fiercely supported any team who was playing against England. Even supported Ze Germans, who are traditionally the enemy of The British/Scots.
I don't understand it TBH. You can point to history but if that's the case then why do the (majority of) Americans love the English? Personally I'm British first, English second. If I was called up to fight in a war I'd be fighting side by side with The Scots & Welsh. Fine by me...
