It is a time of year when the smell of fresh cut grass hangs in the air, with people busying themselves in their gardens in the warmer weather. With the current news bulletins dominated with negativity in one shape or form, now is a wonderful time of year to get out and about and immerse yourself in what this Great Britain has to offer. There are countless...

By Nathan Lee The first football shirt I ever owned was a fake replica Scotland kit delivered in a plastic box from Leeds market. I wore it with pride. The navy blue top was striking atop a pair of white shorts and matching football socks and it never struck me as an issue donning a national shirt of another home nation. But as I've grown older I've become familiar with a general hatred of the English shared by other British...
