The attitude of the Scots when they live in England. Once over the border, the Scots become infected with a form of virus. This virus is the Scottish Cringe. Symptoms: Severe paranoia and feelings of inadequacy and extremely low self esteem manifesting in outward displays of extreme bragging and general obnoxiousness towards the English. Root cause natural inadequacy and lack of a notable home win since 1314. Only remedy for this - do not let Scots over to the English side of the border, alternatively get them repatriates as soon as possible. Once back home in Scotland the symptoms abate to almost bearable levels.
Once relocated from Glasgow to Birmingham, Jock began to exhibit all the symptoms of the "Scottish Cringe". He became ruder and more racist about the English, displaying feelings of intense inferiority and desperately defensive when faced with English achievements: expressing views that would seem to indicate he hoped that England would sink beneath the waves and certainly NOT rule them.
