Shame the bagpipes are by and large associated with Scottish culture specifically isn't it.

Also, is being 'British' something really to be proud of?

So by your definition does 'British' actually mean 'English' with Scotland not counting?

And if you're not proud of being British perhaps you should pretend to be Australian

We've taken them to heart like Chicken Tikka.

G'day

As for definitions, not at all. My point being that when you say 'bagpipes' people will tend to associate them with Scotland (although the more worldly types may also pick up the Cornish and Irish bagpipes), not Britain/the UK as a whole.

To the OP you can be proud to be British without being a raging facist you know ..

Watching that must have given you some amount of conflict Matt?


1) An anti gay protester being drowned out by 2) a Scottish lad playing 3) Scotland the Brave. In St Andrews.


Not sure whether you're applauding the young lad or commiserating with the protestor...

Do none of you actually do even the slightest research before posting ?

Shaid

No

Bagpipes are Pakistani. They were Indian originally. Then you Brits stole the idea as you left

....and (an aspect of) British culture is silenced again.

St George banned, Bagpipes banned, sheep ******** banned, when will the Irish loose their chuffing identity!!!!

Devildog

Shaid you really do post some utter **** sometimes.

Shaid

No need to roll your eyes sweetheart. Just like you phudus stole koh i noor and now think it's part of the Crown Jewels. A day will come when it is returned back to where it was stolen from.

Stop your whining and review your history. Like many such treasures the Koh i Nor was taken by force by a succession of invaders, finally being liberated by the British. It was won in blood, and that's the only way India will get it back i.e. never.

Devildog

You don't seriously expect Shaid to let the facts get in the way of his moronic proclamations do you?

Shaid

Yeah we are liberating your national treasures by erm... Stealing them... Yeah that makes perfect sense.

It WILL be returned without blood being spilt. It will be given back.
