@smiler2012 Berwick was a Scottish town until we grabbed it. Berwick Rangers play in the Scottish Football League-their best day was when they beat the mighty Glasgow Rangers, many years ago. It's a lovely little town.

@HotPizza71 It has been English since we stole it from the Scots in the fifteenth century. It's the most northerly English town.

@HotPizza71 Both are in Britain - Scotland and England both part of Great Britain - but agree with you- typical.
