Ah, but that’s just the thing, Mary, most of the English would support Scotland (or Wales or Ireland) if the situation was reversed – without a second thought. Most English are just baffled it doesn’t work t’other way ’round.
Call me naive or stupid, but up until the year 2000 I would have supported Scotland, had they qualified and England hadn’t. Or even if England were knocked out by Scotland, I’d still have supported Scotland (naturally).
Unfortunately I was in a bar in Egypt, watching England lose to Romania with a bunch of Jocks.
It sickened me to hear them cheer when Romania scored.
They shut up when they saw the look I gave them.
Don’t talk to me about friendly banter! :evil:
