When we look at it Bede was living in the most powerfull Kingdom in the land, that was Northumbria and as far as Williams' Doomsday Book is concerned Northumbria does not feature in it. When at times people hear my true accent they ask if I am Scots, however I do not lay claim to that and nor to English I like to consider myself as British. Infact even more so in recent times as there appears to be this silly movement towards being English or Scottish on both sides, when will people learn to remember that Britain has another word infront of it.
