Maybe you get this idea that there is a 'hard done by' mentality cos others might not be so patriotic?
I never really realised that the Welsh had the " hard done by " mentality till a few years after i moved away from Wales

The Welsh are patriotic, well most i have met have been, be it the football, travelling or in day to day life
