    Is "correct" a euphemism?
    There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.
    It's for the many and not the few. Be sure it's out there looking for you.
    In every town, in every state. In every house and every gate.
    Wth every precious smile you make. And every act of kindness.

    I always say I am scottish ..not british. And I'm sure most english folks would describe themselves as english not british too. Its only when it comes to the media that the terms scottish/english/british are interchangeable depending on the situation ;)

    I definitely let them know I'm Scottish and not English, although coming from the town I am and speaking with a "Galloway Irish" accent I sometimes have to let them know I'm not Irish either!
