its like girls bringing a fat mate with them to a nightclub. With their heroin and obesity problems and their decrepid architecture they make us look good. But also share a hatrid of the english.

We like the Welsh too (if you want to generalise 'we'). We basically like anyone else who doesn't like the english.

We've more genes in common with them, or so it's generally believed, so many feel a greater sense of kinship.

Also, Scotland's lovely and I happen to have liked every Scottish person I've known.

The 'Scots' are originally from Ireland, the Dal Riadans went from over from the north of Ireland and displaced the Picts from the western part of modern Scotland.
