[Magdalen] More Clergy DWI

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Scots are technically British, but would rather not be called Brits, I
suspect.

I recall reading about a time during a great unpleasantness, when a lot of
people from the US were stationed in The British Isles, and they were all
called Yanks.  Always wondered how staid Virginians coped with that.
