British = English?

[Captain Pancake]

do you mean you'd prefer to be called by your specific nationality, or that you want people to stop calling all british people english?

 

[Jamanticus]

I know my history just that one I just couldn't remember plus Britain has thousands and thousands of years of history.

I know you know- I was just tastelessly poking fun.

Well, part of me felt triumphant that a European had a momentary memory lapse, since so many of the Escapist's European populace loves to rub America's perceived lack of education in its face. But you weren't doing that, so I have no reason to be triumphant.

But yeah.

Sorry about singling you out.

It was a joke because the guy I quoted said something stupid.

lol I was joking as well mate, sorry if it sounded serious

In Britain, and the UK, there's a level of patriotism to that specific chunk.

British =/= English,
English = British.

But it's always appreciated to be alknowledged to your country.

Personally, I'm Scottish.
British =/= Scottish,
Scotland = British.

yay another scot....i thought we were goin on the endangered list...

 

[MelziGurl]

I'm Australian. I also have in me English, Irish, Scottish and....wait for it...Polynesian. But I prefer being a wranger because not many people can be and I guess I feel slightly special because of it. But I still get asked if I'm English -_-

 

[Lexodus]

Yes, anything else? You sexy british person you.

haha you have to be one of the funniest people on the escapist haha.

Why thank you young lady. Im no hero though, i just do kids.

Heh. I just pulled a 'Fox News' on you.

 

[Volucer]

I'm Scottish, but I've lived in England for pretty much all my life. Still define myself as Scottish, or British...but it bugs the hell out of me when someone calls me English...

There are a fair few of us on here, you just don't immediately recognise them.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I use them interchangeably and I know that I'm wrong.

Well I suppose it depends on whether or not you believe Ireland should be independent of the UK or not.]

As for me, I'm half Scottish and half English. But I just say I'm English.
