My experience is that some Scots hate the English, simply for being English, though they will invent elaborate justifications for their blind prejudices.

These people are ignorant **** and it's best to try and go about one's life without paying them any heed.

Some of them appear to be posting on this thread, though mostly it'll be banter/trolling.

Does that get things in perspective?

Living in a flat, bland, overcrowded area full of right-wing little englanders. People talking about driving from London to Wales for a day trip mountain biking?

T'ain't flat where I live, and what's this assumption from the likes of grum that the South of England consists soley of London and the Home Counties. The first unified Kingdom that these islands had was formed in the South West, and the capital was Winchester. We've got just as much history here in the South West as anywhere else, and we don't have to drive so far to trail centres, either. I don't drive to them at all, I've got plenty of countryside to play in from where I live, thanks.
No-one I know gives a toss about the Scots, or, frankly anybody much north of Birmingham, a general air of indifference is pretty much what you'll find.

It's such a shame that the Scots feel that way about the English given we saved them after they screwed themselves with the Darien scheme.

Option a} You are being ironic.
Option b) One million sperm and you were the fastest?

When I say we were out for a drink, we asked for a drink @ 10.30 in a hotel we were staying in on the first night [a saturday night], and were given one grudgingly and then they shut the bar.. WTF?

It was nearly the Sabbath.

Would probably happened to a group of Scots in the same situation.

When Scotland play a football match English people support Scotland. When England play a football match Scottish people support the other team. I'm an Englishman who's lucky enough to live in Scotland and have many Scottish friends. I usually stay away from Scots when there's any big sporting thing on though because they can get a bit childish about it. I've never understood it fully. People tell me it's because of the media and commentators but I think it goes much deeper than that.

Thanks, things are looking up. Do you know which pub he drinks in? I'll buy him a pint and watch the match with him.

Northerners defined themselves quite a bit as not being Southerners

That only really applies to places that arent comfortable with there proximity to the midlands Manchester, Doncaster being prime examples. Cumbria, Northumberland, Durham dont make much of their northerness.

I think the hatred the South of England have to the rest of England, Scotland and Wales is directly attributed to the lack of good mountainbiking.

We should call the new country: The United Kingdom of we have good mountain biking and the South of England have none...& Northern Ireland.

I think the South West of England is probably a different beast altogether.. We certainly don't hate the sweaty socks... I don't think we see the the point in wasting energy hating anyone really.. apart from grockles.

Its funny that South East England has no good mountain bike trails, because when I ride my local trails with people from Scotland, Northern England and Wales they all **** love it. In fact I ride regularly with a lad from Yorkshire and has been mountain biking for years and highly rates the trails down here. As for the comment about hearing of people driving to Wales for a days mountain biking - why not? You guys up north only ever ride your local trails? Anyone might think you may be a bit small minded with that attitude.

Oh...
