    It's ok to have an opinion though.

    Personally i wouldn't want to run for any other country except the one i was born in. But that's my opinion and not the rules.

    Re: England Mountain Running T

    Of course it is. I think there's a few who chose not to represent other countries but others who do. I find the argument that I'm taking a person's place a bit weak though..we have 12 spaces in the ultra squad and 2 runners selected, both qualify on residency..there's 10 spaces available for people who want to run around a track for 24 hrs or want to run 2-10 k loops for a 100k, just form an orderly queue.. :-)

    I just think there's a few kicking up a fuss for a few personal reasons.

    TBH though I support England in sport but I've lived 18 years in England and nearly 12 outside of England. I've never lived in England as an adult. I suppose I'm one of the few who very much class themselves as British having only lived in Scotland and Wales (of the home nations) as an adult. I also wouldn't have competed for Scotland, that was never home, here is.

    Clearly you are an affable chap and not bothered by some of ridiculous politics sometimes evident

    Tom that's why this countries so f****d up because of the politically correct numpties.
    I'm not rascist, i went out with a girl who was from African origin.
    I don't like being accused of being rascist in a roundabout way when i'm not.
    I get the rip taken out of me every other day on sites for where i live or what i look like, i don't throw my dummy out and cry political correctness.
    I just think it's a bit pathetic that's all
