Dear Mr Brown,

The new 2009 United Kingdom Silver £2 coin is now available to order with a unique one-year-only design celebrating 250 years since the birth of Robert Burns, one of Britain's greatest poets.

Same as Andy Murray being a British tennis player, until he loses and then he's Scottish :sj:

[Shaun]

Sacrilege.

[Jiggles]

Yes :mad::mad:

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Sacrilege.

I didn't know you liked tennis? :p

[Grahame Case]

yes, a pet hate of mine, the media selectively choosing when a person is "British" or "scottish"/"welsh" etc depending on how well they are doing!

I agree :D

Going back to the Rabbie Burns - British thing in the original post. It's probably more to do with marketing than anything else. They'll sell more UK-wide by stating british rather than Scottish.

I can't see it.......surly it will sell because of the 250 yrs celebration...:confused:
Are there any plans to do any celebrations in Ayrshire / Scotland?

I heard you first time. :d

It didn't make sense the first time. ;)

This thread has helped me learn something.

Last time I was in hospital, I saw a room with a Scottish guy inside reading poetry.

On the door it said "Burns unit"

:sofa:

[BeerFunk]

I don't know what all the fuss is about anyway, most of his poetry was mince IMO. Thankfully, the Bard is part of my 'British' national heritage aswell ;)

[Excalibur]

Tony, it does make sense if you insert/understand the word Great, thus making it a blanket term for most of the British Isles population.
Darren, it was ever thus.:( :(
Rob, you're not getting any funnier. :( :( :(
Anyone who cares: Scotch is a drink. Scottish is a Nationality. Remember. ;)
