Shite and bugger-all, but I knew I was going to misremember that quote! LOL
I knew about the wales-and-scotland thing. Kind of like using Yank to refer to any US citizen. I'm from the deep south (Louisiana) and in many parts of the U.S. South, Yank means Yankee means fought on the wrong (ie, winning) side in the Civil War, means carpetbagger means Reconstruction means horrible insult to you and your forebearers. Didja get all that?
