As an Irishman, I have an allergy to the little Englander baloney that RedNoodle has spouted out on occasion (and his response to my post is so meandering and divorced from reality, it reminds me of my Auntie Sarah in her later years).
In fact, in my experience, throughout continental Europe and beyond, people are wondering how what was once a pragmatic, common-sense nation is now behaving as if it’s got its adolescent head permanently shoved up its arse.
Bitter as in not liking the English, they don't have a problem with the Scots or Irish, too much Brits abroad stereo typical holiday makers and too many unruly squaddies over the years, i never had a problem, several nations tried to adopt me as their own, but i'm me, behind the adoptation there was always the 'you can't be, you're not really English'
