[Gladstone]

More along the same lines...this from the blog of someone visiting Scotland. It's doubtful this person has any sense whatsoever of the irony of their words.

"Defiant. That what the Scots are. Amazing to me ? someone who chuckles at regional conflicts in the United States ? that there remains such animosity against the English. It's pervasive. From the jokes by bus drivers and pub owners, to a preference for money printed in the country, despite that fact that English pounds are equal value, the Scots are still pissed off that England stole their country...."

"Sure it looks like I forgot to write,
but cut me some slack, my passport and credit cards were stolen,
all my free time was spent on the telephone. They musta thought I was English..."

"Scotland's monument to the national hero William Wallace. For a highly fictionalized account of his life rent the movie Braveheart, but don't underestimate the Scottish people's pride in this man, who, after trying to maintain Scotland's independence from English rule, was drawn and quartered in London, where they made further point by displaying the quarters in separate places around town..."

And so it goes.
