I am proud to be English, But I am also happy that I live in beautiful Wales and as RAGGY says it is more friendly rivalry I have some real good welsh friends, friends I can trust and would do anything for,it is the same with Scottish people they are supposed to be mean, nothing could be farther from the truth, they are very very generous people, I love the banter between the different countries, specially when we play rugby or football. and when there is a REAL problem like when the bombs went off in London you would not believe the amount of phone calls from Welsh people I had asking if all my relatives were ok, so all in all we are all ok, well I think so anyway.
