Looking to find family...

Pol, I am not a stirrer (well not all the time anyway!)... I know for a fact that some Americans (and Australians too) absolutely HATE the English! In fact some of them even hate lowland Scots! Actually now that I think about it, they don't always like certain clans (such as Campbell). They go on about how the Highland way of life was so brilliant (living in blackhouses, rustling cattle, being under the rule of some self-important chief, etc) and they are so desperate to get back to it. Trouble is most of them have a very tenuous link to Scotland (a great times however many grandparent was kicked off his land by that self-same chief they so love to idolise), but they think they can sit over there and tell us how we should be running our lives and yet these numpies can't even sort out their own back yards!

As for the English getting tarred with the same brush... that must be one hell of a large brush!

I know of many of those of whom you speak (so disparagingly!).... In fact, we both know many of the same eejits.
