Jim, I wouldn't disagree with your comments. I, too, have a problem with English imperialism. I think the first step to take with English nationalism is to keep it English and not get it confused with Britishness. The second step is to show respect to our neibours: Scotland, Wales and Ireland. However, I do feel that you are being unfair in stating that the English have little knowledge of Scotland. Talk about the NOrth and they will think you are talking about the NOrth of England; but if you talk about Scotland, they will be able to rattle off the cities and towns of Scotland and be able to pinpoint them on a map. And yes, most of us know you invented the 20th Century as well.
