"The only negative to me, was the resurrection of the old malady, sectarianism....and its link to the Unionist cause."

Scottish Unionist cause, sectarianism is virtually unknown in England thankfully. There is an Orange lodge in Manchester as I stumbled upon them marching a couple of years ago. A few sad old men with angry faces living in the past and a rather pathetic sight; an anachronism.

Growing up in Brum my mates were catholic and C of E and the only way it affected us was they went to mass some Fridays and were late out.

Surely sectarianism is linked to football too? The old firm derby and all that?
