See Polwarth, i knew you were a canny lass!
It's hard to take Scots with that view too seriously, i think everyone can be guilty of over-generalising people, i do it with southerners and i've even done it with cockneys just a few posts back!! I dinnaa i guess you only notice it when it hurts you, ye knaa?
I think alot of the modern 'English' revival we've seen in the last 10 years is alot to do with the Scots and Irish...
Anyways, i think the North east and Scotland share something that the rest of England don't.. even if it isn't wuh nationality.
