The rule in England is that when he wins he is British, when he looses he is Scottish!

He has just won, so for now he is British (we will give him back to the Scots when he next looses).

While I don't know what that means, yes, my grandmother was born over there in 1921 & immigrated here in the mid 1920's.

I think ecchi is asking you to do a bit of the old in and out on him.

Next year the Scottish people are voting on either staying in the UK or getting out.

I was sort of joking when I asked you the question because it is something you should never ask a Scotsman in public. It is a very contentious issue. If you say you want Scotland to stay part of the United Kingdom you are liable to get beaten up by those who want Independence. However if you say you want Independence you are liable to get beaten up by those who want to stay part of the UK.

The only two Scots who I know have expresses an opinion are Alex Salmon and Sean Connery. Alex Salmon is the Scottish First Minister which means he will become the equivalent of "President of Scotland" if they get Independence, so is obviously biased (he is also as mad as a box of frogs - my advice to Scotland is that if they do vote for Independence they should ditch Salmon as quickly as possible and get someone competent in the post). And Sean Connery declares that he is a proud and patriotic Scotsman, but lives in Spain!

My personal worry is that the head honcho on the Dr Who production team is Scottish, and if they gain Independence they may want him back!
