Well, I`m surprised to hear you say that. Last time, (& the 4 times before) I was posted to NI, loyalists would call Britain "our" country with a certain amount of determination & pride. In fact, they would fight you for saying different. Only the repo`s called it "your" country. I didn't know it had changed so much so I mentioned it this afternoon to my bro in Larne, as far as he knew, things hadn't changed.
