Subject: RE: BS: Are We Anti-English
The English people are the salt of the Earth---even if the Scots DID invent tarmac, radio-location, the first steamship, anaesthetic, the telephone, television, built the first pedal bike [my g-g-Uncle Kirkpatrick MacMillan], lit up the streets with "town's" coal gas, not tae mention the momentous discoveries of porridge,haggis and Penicillin. Och! If it hadnae been for Marconi, they'd have had nobody----but I still think they're great folks! And like me, they don't tend to brag too much.
