Wouldn't your typical Scot be a little offended at being discribed as British? "Human imagination has been sculpted by the universe within which it was born" Hmmmm...

I can't see any reason why. Some people are very patriotic in that respect. In the recent census for the UK, there was a fuss over people putting their nationality as "Welsh" or "British", in my country. Both are valid. Simon "This is an equal opportunities airline.

(Slightly off-topic, maybe, but honestly - the fact the Sun is the number one paper in Britain says a lot about the British, and it isn't good) Anyway, continuing on-topic: there could well be a cultural difference between the city-bound Londoners and thier rules and order, and those like myself who have been raised and live in the countryside with its pretty smells and colours. Round here you don't ask pretty girls for phone numbers, you ask which fields they farm so you know daddy wont be doing a late night shift in the barn. Well, so to speak anyway. ;P
