    #26 Hi everyone. I didn't say England was the oldest country, clearly, Egypt 3100BCE and others are older. I said England is the oldest unified country. Unified in the 10th century (927) by King Ethelstan. According to the English Dems a unified England is even older than that, in the 8th century, that's even older than unified China. Anyway, I may be wrong on that. Cheers everyone, keep safe. PC R710198.

    England has a lot to be proud of. it whenever a person or a country shines , others look for faults, jealousy or otherwise, and seek to downgrade such. England is England and evermore shall be so.I come from split parentage both English and Scottish but would never be taking in by the false myths built up around Bonny Prince Charlie. Maybe that’s where the myth about Scotland and France derives from. The Bonny Charles just maybe he had the tendency to be a cross dresser, he liked wearing a wig and fancy silk hose of French design. JS

    Maybe the wee Scots womans ambition is to follow Joan of Arcs career and sees herself as a French saint. JS

    To annoy the Scots, Welsh or Irish, say “England” when you mean Britain. To annoy historians, say “Britain” when you mean England. Getting the distinction right may be difficult – but it’s important.

    Many long moons past there was a Scotsman who cried 'Freedom' they cut off his head after he was hanged, drawn and quartered.
    Maybe that funny little Scottish female you speak of could become the head of a new flag, for those who really want to leave.
    I can just see her now with her entorage of all 20 followers marching down the high street behind the flag crying 'Freedom" in a very quiet voice one might add.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Keep your Northern door well bolted, I am invoking the Welsh Dragon to sort you out, how dare thee to try and taint the Dragon with a dastardly monarchy.

    While Des is thinking of a suitable answer will fill in the pause..( paws)...No it is Nogard the Welsh rarebit. Notice Nogard is dragon spelt backwards. Des is getting King Arthur and all his knights out of the toy box to counter your attack but having trouble finding Sir Lancelot and Genevieve is also missing so its anyones guess were he is, maybe in Toms bed catching fleas off his spaniels ears. Best to let sleeping spaniels lie. Cheers JS

    hi peter
    calm down calm down. it was a parody in the form of a true tale,
    believe me when we where kids and venturing across the border into north wales they where the hostiles, now they are a bit better behaved.

    hi john sabourn

    I don’t mind spelling dragon backwards , but refuse to put a whole post A about T . Youll have to persevere with your reading studies. Try using a mirror . You should be good at some of these weird crosswords I can never do, that’s one advantage you have. Cheers JS

    hi john sabourn
    considering whilst i did attend school one kid behind me used to keep a couple of pigeons in his desk and another further back used to mend clocks, so i think if i was using a mirror to read with in those days it would have been ok but obviously if was to use the mirror today the teacher would see how distressed i was and rush me off for a sex change, after all this is the year of enlightenment
