Why do some Scots ( and some Welsh and Irish ) feel  that they hate 'the english' ?
Is it that they've never been to England , and imagine that we are all mega-rich , ultra-snooty Lords and Ladies , living in Stately Homes or Castles ?
I am yet to meet any english folk who say that they hate the scots ( or welsh or irish ) .
Perhaps I should be glad that Rangers lost tonight ; I'm not , though I admit I'm glad when that silly boy Andy Murray , who , two years ago said he was 'supporting' whoever england were playing against in the Football World Cup , loses his tennis matches .
I've heard that Glasgow can be a dangerous place to be for 'sassenach's ' .
I know that by no means all Scots ( or welsh and Irish ) 'hate' the english , but there's no doubt that some feel that they do , which seems extremely peurile , juvenile and silly to me . .

My uncle (who is my Dad's younger brother) and his wife are due to have a baby in a few months time.

Me and the other half were discussing how this baby is in relation to my son! (As my dad wants to know and cannot fugure it out!) The OH said our son would be a half-cousin!? (I said Uncle jokingly!) And I would be this Baby's Cousin!?

Sounds confusing! But I am serious!
