as an outsider, it's funny to see how local people are aware of differences, no matter how slight, between themselves and "the others" in their midst. i once lived in Vancouver where people differentiate among themselves by the length of their residency, arguing about how they have lived here for eight and a quarter years - while you "new-comers" have only lived here for three and a half years! will the Brits ever learn that the entire world sees irish, english, welsh and scots as but one race?
When will the British ever learn that the entire world sees Irish, English, Welsh and Scots as but one race? Are you not aware that most of the world lumps all of the British Isles into the same basket... viewing you as little Dickensian characters suffering forever in bad weather and infernal marriages in wrinkled, worn out brown tweed suits and having odd sounding names
names that actually describe something back in the last century hovelled in little pubs while telling long winded stories of trivial matters and drinking copious amounts of ale and whiskey, wagering your pay on anything that moves, cursing each other constantly and fighting over the least of trivialities in the mud, blood and beer soaked cobblestone streets of little wee towns
with odd sounding names... taking a break only to drink more ale and continue where you left off. Most people would just give up and kill themselves... but not you Brits... the last of the brave. Playing out your miserable bleak lives in a quiet desperation of polite gestures and proper deportment like a well turned out bunch of demented masochists who are forever doomed to live with each other in an agonizing existence of self-loathing.

I like the way the Irish have taken this English song to their hearts.
