Sorry, I should have been clearer. I mentioned "political" in that
I hoped this wasn't due to a political agenda, as I didn't think
it was an appropriate reason in this case.

The mention of "Welsh, Scots and Irish" was meant to show that there
was no logical reason in splitting off these groups, not to emphasise
a political issue.

Damn. How did you know I created those ? :-)

No need to apologise. I obviously wasn't clear enough. Like you, the
last thing I want to do is make a political issue out of this.

Cheers,
Jamie
