If anything unites the 'other three' countries in the UK it is love of Morris Dancing. Nothing makes us laugh so much. Sorry, but there is some truth in my flipancy.

On a more serious note, there is no such thing as British/UK culture. Scottish, Welsh and (N) Irish are all well and thriving. English culture is putting a good fight, thanks to Billy Bragg and others.

But what is British culture?

And I agree with the earlier post that we will be well on the way to independence by 2012 - at least here in Scotland.
