Thread Name: What is it with the English?
Subject: RE: What is it with the English?
This is going off the path a wee bit, but BBC Music Live! I thought it was supposed to encompas the entire "Nation" (Not that the UK is going to be one for much longer!) Only England, Wales and Northern Ireland had a Bank Holiday to enjoy it. Scotland on the other hand didn't! You would have thought they would have chosen the Holiday weekend so every one in the "nation" could take part, but No! This is just one example of the inherant arragance of the Anglo-Normans. Any way in hindsight the Music Live thing was a waste of the TV license. So we'r better of in one way! Oh, and another thing, at the moment the BBC are advertising Euro 2000, how we ask? By showing us how an English commentator enjoyed the English wining against the Scots in Euro 96. A week later There we are again being shown the same match as the underdogs but this time by the view point of a Scotsman. They made the point the first time!
