What does mongrel mean? Mongoloid?
To the English people here: Celtic or Anglo-Saxon bloodline?
Guest, a mongrel is a term usually used to describe a dog of mixed or indeterminate breed. Betty is using it to insinuate that I am multiracial or that I do not come from an aristocratic blood lines. Neither of these insinuations is true, however. But since you seem to want to now, Betty. And in no particular order. . .

Margaret Atwood: Canadian Novelist, Poet, and Critic

Willard: First found in the county of Sussex where they were Lords of the Manor of Eastborn, being granted lands by King William the Conqueror for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

So, no I am not a mongrel as you put it. We don’t put much stock in pedigree in the U.S. We consider personal achievement far more important. And using such terminology as mongrel to refer to a human is abhorrent.

What a fool. Who cares what your ancestors did? Does that make you better? Ha ha, it makes you a failure to live up to the expectations if nothing worse!

This has been a holiday weekend in the UK (the Spring Bank Holiday in official terms) so it's back to work first thing tomorrow morning, but as I went down to Leeds (Yorkshire) early in the weekend and then a flying visit down to North Wales (Anglesey, or Ynys Mon as the Welsh call it) and I have now just arrived back home in Scotland, I am once again imbued with the irresistible spirit of Celtic brotherhood.
Picture the scene here in the YT clip from Murrayfield (the rugby ground is not much more that three miles from where I live in West Edinburgh) -the game between Scotland and Wales - before the game the anthems are always sung out with Celtic passion.
The Welsh do it in their own Language (Hen Wlad fyn Nhadau - Land of My Fathers) while we Scots use English for O Flower of Scotland.
The commentary incidentally was in French, so never accuse Murrayfield of being anything other than International! Actually we can hear the roar of the crowd from our house, especially when the wind is in the east.
