Just that Tim Henman was always considered as English. I'm not bitter and like England but i think all TV pundits, commentators are a bunch of wankers.

Its because we own you, Angus.
When you are successful you become British, so from that you can deduce that there will always be a Scottish football team.
For a better explanation see ewan Mcgregors rant in Trainspotting after they get off the train.
(I'll not hold my breath for the 10 points on this one)
Ive never heard Henman called English , BTW, He has always been referred to as the Britsh No, 1.....2......3..... depending on the year.

If Henman was considered English it was because Scottish, Welsh and Irish people didn't want to be associated with him. I am English and I consider Murray to be Scottish not British, because I hate him personally.

Because like most Scots, as soon as they can handle a bicycle they head south .... generally considered to be a financially beneficial move .... or the best place to find speech therapists.

What about David Coulthard? Scots are always British when it suits them.

Probably to suck in the extra 'fans'.
