Thanks for explaining that, hey, I'm English, you don't need to tell me selfish, imperialistic attitudes in history. I'm not proud of some of what the English have done in the past.

I just associate with the "nice bits" of my celtic heritage

You sound a caring, compassionate person, this world needs more folk like that.
