That's the same way with the Scots. When I was living in Cambelltown
(a wee town in the Highlands & Islands part of Scotland), the last
thing the locals would admit was that they were "British" or anyway
associated with the English. In fact, every major election year,
Scotland tries to become independent of the United Kingdom. I even
remember Sean Connery campaigning for it...
