(101,311 posts)People can, of course, call themselves British if they want. The thing about Murray is that there was a running joke, perhaps with a semi-serious point behind it, that English media would call him "British" if he won, and "Scottish" if he lost - which, if there was anything to that, would be a valid thing to complain about. The vague story in the OP (something the thread starter read a month ago, which could be misremembered or misinterpreted - we can't tell with such little context) could show an Englishman giving Scotland all the glory, because it's after a win. Which would be a good thing.
The rest of the OP seems to be the product of a lot of imagination by the thread starter. If that is who 'they' refers to, then I wouldn't bother worrying what 'they' are talking about. I don't think they know a lot about this - it seems to have come from one thing an Englishman once said to them.
