"We met just previously at the Edinburgh festival in England". The last time I looked on a map, Edinburgh was in Scotland. Or is this just another English man teaching the world to call Britain; England. Jullian Bream also seems to think Glasgow is in the north of England too.

@MegaLochgelly This is not "just another English man." This is Julian Bream. The quote was "We'd met just previously, in England, at the Edinburgh festival." It would be safe to assume that they met in both places, but even if they had not, this should not cause one to dismiss the actual content and purpose of the video.

Just sit down and do it!

@MegaLochgelly He's of Scottish ancestry, you tool.

"..his Table player"? ..Man, this is (was) Ustad Alla Rakha himself! ^^ He isn't just "a tabla player", he is "THE Tabla player", and there'll never exist any of his kind again.

@aatz1982 I can imagine you couldn't say why or when, as it was never correct to describe The British Isles as England.Not sure where you saw Scots are moaning at being hard done by; certainly not on any of my posts. It's clear you weren't paying attention at school in certain subjects e.g. the correct use of capital letters.

@MegaLochgelly in the past using england to describe all of the british isles was considered correct. couldn't say why or when this changed. anyone would think you scots are hard done by, always moaning!
