For almost 1000 years, Scotland and England have been neighbor nations. For more than half that time, they were foreign countries to each other, often at war. In the 1700s, they joined in a United Kingdom and the new concept of 'Britishness' arose. But this covered over, rather than combined, the long-established identities. For most purposes Scots remained Scots and English remained English, and the old sense of rivalry did not go away. It still remains.

More than a collection of jokes, insults and critical observations, however, it shows how humor in its own way can join as well as divide, providing a handbook that can be enjoyed whichever side you are on.
