BORDER POST
September 6th, 2008 adminWe took a brief diversion this weekend to attend my cousin’s wedding in Edinburgh. Driving north on the A1 from Berwick it was intriguing to see the different ways that England and Scotland mark their border posts. As you head north drivers are met with a large, clear sign based on the Scottish flag, which welcomes you to Scotland. It could be seen from a distance, even in the pouring rain.Â
Â
Driving south a couple of days later, in similarly depressing weather conditions, I only just spotted our border post. A rather pathetic stone block, covered in lichen, with the barely readable words ‘England’. Â
Â
Are there conclusions to be drawn from these contrasting declarations of identity?!

Yes! The sweaties think they’re all that because they’re insecure. We DO NOT think we are great because WE DONT HAVE TO. Compare what the English have done on the world stage compared to the sweats?
They are insecure! That is why they have to make such a drama out of everything. I mean come on, most jocks i’ve met go on and on and on about how proud they are, how great scotland is, blah, blah, blah. The fact that they do not live in scotland, and are being hypocritical, doesnt seem to occur to them. They need to grow up.
