    "Quote"I have often felt like learning some Gaelic phrases for such eventuallities, that would really confuse them!

    Perhaps we gaels would find it as offensive for you Sassenachs to hide behind our culture as you find it being thought of as being english.

    When I'm in America, I usually get asked if I'm Australian. Dumb Yanks.

    Then they ask if Scotland is near France (I.E. not separated by water) or if its an Island.

    Aye, cheers guys.
