So as I said, sod the little guy then. I'm grateful that you're not a good representation of the English people who use this site.

Yeah that's fine and I don't have a problem with that. But when the day's results were read out on the news, guess who will always be read first?

The national news is NOT the English news - it's the UK news. I'm not saying Wales or Scotland should always be discussed first - that would be unfair. But breaking up the routine so our results were read out first occasionally would be a good start and would send out a great message of equality.
