It's an English thing, they always use it, as Jimmy Rabbitte said " The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland, And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. so say it once, say it loud; i'm black and i'm proud," (Commitments 1991)

Yes but the point the OP was making was that when we watch TV which is coming from England with English commentators if Andy Murray is winning they refer to his as British but if he is not winning they refer to him as Scottish!

It seems to us that they are embracing him when he wins by using the all encompassing "British" nationality but distance themselves when he loses a match!

I've never noticed to be honest. I disagree with this being an English thing though, as I am English and have always referred to Murray as Scottish, winning or losing.

What I am saying is when tim henmam was playing it was always englands tim henman winning or losing I think your british if you win but if you lose your Scottish or welsh or northern Irelands.
