We spent twenty six years in Scotland after we came back from Oz. During that time I came to realise that it's no place for an Englishman to feel at home in. However, in order to preserve the money which we have put into our home I was quite willing to return when it looks as if the Grim Reaper is approaching, but, if it is correct what you say, we'll have to think of some other haven. You never know, New Zealand could be on the cards. It's a pity, because Scotland is a beautiful country.
What is it that the younger Scots have against the English? We are all under the thumb of our Norman masters and always have been. All this tripe that gets spouted about Robert de Brus. He was a Norman who had lands in England and had this obsession to be king, so he picked Scotland. What did he do after the Scots put him on the throne? He built castles to subjugate them that's what. He betrayed Wallace to the Norman English king because he was a common Scot. Mel Gibson should remake his film and tell the truth - and Stirling should demolish that daft likeness if Gibson that they've erected. It's an insult to the memory of Wallace. Then we should get back to being what we've always been, the same people.
