    Of course it was the local hospital and not the M1 we headed to but if you ask my 2 little English girls what nationality they are guess what they`ll tell you ...

    Seems living in London is not so unthinkable for you though.

    I couldn't care less where I was born..

    I do love Scotland, but other countries are equally valid

    I was born in America... but I still wear my tartan and play the warpipes and declare myself as a Scotsman. My family still owns land in Scotland even though we've been in the states for four generations now. I have relatives that I've traveled to Scotland to visit with and vice versa. I've got hair as red as fire and eyes in the blue of woad. Not to mention, last few times I was o'er there, I bumped into a person who was the spitting image of myself.

    Born an American... will die a Scotsman.

    Of couse not m8,Londons great.......
    The fact that 2 of my girls are actually English dosent bother me in the slightest and it`s just a bit of banter i once had to counter from English mates of mine down here and the best i could come up with was the "crossing back over the border for the birth nonsense".....i had the buggers believing me for long enough though

    Quite right

    THATS more like it
    Your probably more Scottish than me by the sounds of it as i dont really wear tartan,cant play the bagpipes to save myself and contrary to what the avatar might indicate i dont actually have red hair either.

    I do love a plate o haggis though

    I was just up in Edinburgh myself a week or 2 ago visiting family and if i hadn`t been missing my Ubuntu so much i might not have come back.

    She says she`ll pack a live cd next time
