To add a"lighter" note, I'm reminded of a definition of the four nations of the home islands givien during an Army seminar in the early 80s (I can't tell you where as I'd have to.. well you know.)
The Welsh - Pray on their knees...... and upon their neighbours.
The Scots - Keep the Sabbath holy... and anything else they can get their hands on.
The Irish - Will fight and die for any cause... they don't understand.
This, of course leave the English. They are a self-made race.... which
relieves God of an awesome responsibility.
Not very PC I know but then the Army was/is not known for being touchy-feely tree-huggers. If there is anybody I haven't insulted please forgive me and, in the spirit of Equality and Diversity, I promise to try harder.
As an aside, the definitions were given an illustration given when discussing the various peoples making up the old Soviet Union (Go figure!).
