Ah well, that was a bit tongue-in-cheek, Peter. On the other hand --
"The rottenest bits of those islands of ours
We've left in the hands of three unfriendly powers.
Examine the Irishman, Welshman, or Scot,
You'll find him a stinker as likely as not
The Scotsman is mean, as we're all well aware,
And bony and blotchy and covered with hair.
He eats salted porridge, and works all the day,
And he hasn't got bishops to show him the way.
The English, the English, the English are best.
I wouldn't give twopence for all of the rest."
