England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Actually I forgot Tony Blair is Scottish.

[Beanz]

Maybe this is a dumb question but when was the last time your PM was not English? or when was the last time the PM was from Scotland, Wales and North Ireland?

The prime minister before this one, was Gordon Brown and he is Scottish.

Thanks. Safe to say that one has never come from Northern Ireland?

They could come from Northern Ireland but it is unlikely because the most popular parties in Northern Ireland are not well represented in Westminster. We have had a few Scottish PM's and David Lloyd George a Welsh one.

I don't like being called a "yankee" but a lot of good that does telling you lot....Yankees are like the dudes on Jersey Shore, I'm an American but I'm also a Southerner and I am no damned Yankee! My people fought the Yankees

Red neck Lyle, or the T word.

No, just American is that so fucking difficult?

Miles Jr how about that.

Very clever....at least you can make your sheep chuckle after you've had your way with them

Don't knock it till you try it.

ı thınk welsh and ırısh and scottısh have at tımes strong celtıc ancestry and so IMO ı thınk they would NOT lıke to be called brıtısh too well ---- but hey thats my yankee opınıon ı dont know squat about the subject really.

as for tony blaır he can suck a donkey dıck for 4 hours and 14 mınutes.

Yes the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are fiercely patriotic and would rightly be offended as being described as English. Just as you are proud to be a Texan but also American, but would probably not liked to be refered to as Californian but times a hundred in the case of the Welsh and Northern Irish and times a million for the Scottish.


As an Englishman I totally agree with and understand their inferiority complex.:-P

I doubt if anyone would confuse me with being from California, but since i'm from Texas, which is part of the Southern U.S. I might take exception at being called a "Yankee" (someone from the North or North-East U.S.
I can understand the Northern Irish taking exception to being called English/British, but I never realized someone from Wales or Scotland would.

cheers

Yes Mars, I'm Welsh but when we go to War we are all British, and we fight and stick together, then after we call each other names.

That's funny, it reminds me of all the ethnic groups we have in America, Italians, French in Louisiana, Native Americans, Blacks, Latinos/Hispanics, Jews, Irish, English, German, et, al, for the most part we all get along, but when push comes to shove, blood is sometimes thicker than water.
I've noticed that when people of different ethnicities work and/or do business together, prejudice seems to fall by the wayside for the common good.

For some reason I thought you might be Irish, Dia. (no offense)

[Beanz]

No Dia is Welsh. You can tell by the Welsh Flag above his posts with a Dragon on it. All Welsh people have a pet dragon for melting the cheese, when making cheese on toast, because they are a bit eccentric.

Dia,

I'm sure you, like most on here, are not aware but the use of the words redneck and hillbilly is no different than nigger, chinc or spic.

Chink has a k in it and usually is followed by a Y as in chinky. Also surely Hillbilly is not a race or redneck?

[VictorCharlie]

Sorry my spelling of pejoratives is off. Of course redneck and hillbilly are racial slurs. People use them as pejoratives for ignorant white people. Hillbilly was derived from a term for German immigrants in the Appalachians of Kentuckys. If Lyle was black no one on this site would EVER refer to him as a nigger but somehow redneck is an exceptable racist term thrown around all the time.

So which are you? Redneck or Hillbilly?

[VictorCharlie]

I'm 1/16 Cherokee so make it redman.

If it offends Lyle then maybe we should stop using it. Hillbilly seems to be more likely to be Scottish in origin. A lot of people call Welsh sheep shaggers and most laugh it off, in fact whenever my local soccer side play a Welsh team, the away end will be full of supporters with inflatable sheep.

[VictorCharlie]

I can't speak for Lyle but it offends me. The mountains of KY had a large German immigant influx at one point. Wilhelm became William then Bill hence Hill Billy.

It's a Lie , I was having a piss and a passing sheep fell onto my cock, I don't care what the Papers say.
