When I was with Ann on holiday in the south of England a few years back a young man took exception to my Scottish accent and punched me in the face and came out with a load of racial abuse. Well I'm not a fighter but I did have a lot of stamina and I just stood there and screamed abuse back at him and dared him to hit me again now that other people were watching. He slunk away in the crowd. I reported it to the police but of course he couldn't be traced. Happily people like this are in a very small minority and most English are friendly towards Scots. It happens the other way too, that while 99.9% of Scots will welcome English visitors, there is always the one bad apple who will destroy his country's good reputation by bad behaviour.
