thepundit Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Depending on the situation I'd probably clarify it and if I'm asked I call myself Scottish. Ironically I've got a bit of an English accent It probably depends on how specific you thought you needed to be at that particular moment, rather than snarling "I'm Scottish not British!".. I'm English and British, it really doesn't matter. Just depends who asks the question. But I'm hardly going turn round to someone in Aberdeen for example when they ask where I'm from and say "Britain" as it doesn't really answer their question, ha! I have a bit of a Scottish accent mixed in with my Northern accent these days. Very British indeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taza Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm not sure how Scottish guys in the forces would realistically be able to cast a vote but it is an anomaly. As for the Scottish/British thing, I call and consider myself Scottish, even though I'm a NAW. Don't really understand the relevance of this issue. I'm a proud Scot and a defo yes voter but accept that denying I'm British is stupid, as everyone born in The British Isles is British, just as Norwegians and Swedes are Scandinavian. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
