I blame Edward Longshanks -...It is in your genes. I blame Edward Longshanks - his maurauding through Scotland and Wales putting anyone who didn't accept him as King of all the Britain or accept his latest puppet left a lasting impression. It is funny that the Scots still want independence when if you think logically they won in the end when James VI Scotland James I of England took to the thrown thereby ensuring that the unbroken lineage goes back to Robert the Bruce ... I digress - but seriously I think history like this has much bigger part to play than we give credit to. We may have lost the tradition of bards in the family recounting the tales of forebears in their wars and struggles but I think they are imprinted still on the psyche that now plays out in sport.<br /><br />One thing I will say - most English if watching Wales, Scotland, Ulster or Ireland in a match not involving England or one of the other home nations will 100% support them. The total hatred leading people to support Argentina over England I find bizarre - I mean on the Falkland Islands with the bullets and bombs were flying the Argentinians never asked if you were Welsh or not didn't they?Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-75230780580292902082015-02-07T17:15:37.765+00:002015-02-07T17:15:37.765+00:00I didn't know husband was English, Liz.
