Biondino, I'm sure that this is too politically incorrect, and bear in mind that my wife is often-heard saying about me, "But you hate EVERYONE," but in my experiences with the English in Holland, there is a distinct air of superiority, especially towards us "colonials". I get along, don't get me wrong, but there is that feeling. The northerners that I've met -- including the Scots -- have been far less like that, if at all.
You should have heard the poo-pooing from some when I told them that I was moving to Glasgow. And not one of the poo-pooers had even BEEN to Scotland. One of them is from Swindon for Karma's sake! How can someone from Swindon belittle Glasgow!?
I think that the Scots sense that same attitude and that's what I like about them. Can't understand 'em all the time, though.
