Poll: Are you British or English/Scottish etc?

[GodofDisaster]

I'm from Northern Ireland, but I call myself Irish rather than British, due to my families status.

Your Catholic I'm guessing, quote]

Your guess was correct.

 

[HotFezz8]

i call myself british because it has that lovely effect of reminding everyone about the british empire.

yeah take that frogs!! we kicked napoleons arse!! woooooooo!!! (runs around in little circles, gets bored, then wanders off giggling)

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

British. I'm Indian, Irish and English. I'm sure india was a british colony at one point.

 

[Tiny116]

I voted for English, even though I like us having the UK I still think its important to recognise the separate Nations within.

 

[rees263]

I'm half Welsh, but I would tell somone I'm English/from England, I just think it's easier.

 

[Brisingr]

I'd either say British or Northern Irish, Not fussed really

 

[MadMechanic]

I'm half Scot and half English, so I say British. Although,
If asked to futher define myself, I just say I'm half-half. (Although a few years ago I'd have just said "Scottish")
I don't know why, but I just prefer the term British.

 

[TheColdHeart]

I call myself British as im half English half Scottish.

 

[YoUnG205]

I'm English to anyone in the UK.
I'm British to the rest of the world.

 

[Lenny Magic]

I would say English... But I'm not I just would...

 

[ActionDan]

No Welshman? God damnit. I prefer being called Welsh.

Wasn't it the late great Bill Hicks who said, when asked if he was proud to be an American,

'Why would I be? I didn't choose to be, my parents just fucked there is all.'

I'm British, well, I'm English, but as an English person, I don't have the national identity of Scotland, Wales or Ireland, so I'll go with British.

 

[Amnestic]

As an American reading this thread I am....so confused.

Just to be clear, Britain is the island and England is a country on Britain (again the island) in the UK and the UK is a collection of countries on Britain (again the island) (with the exception of Northern Ireland)?

England=Country
Great Britain=Island Consisting of England, Scotland and Wales
United Kingdom=Great Britain+Northern Ireland.

 

[Kloffy]

British, because no one knows what I'm talking about if I say I am Manx.

 

[Samcanuck]

I'm an Ukranian, Welsh, Irish (and a little french huguenot) mutt.

 

[Kinguendo]

For a British thread, something all British people can enjoy:

British, because no one knows what I'm talking about if I say I am Manx.

You're a cat with no tail?

On-topic...

I'm French! Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?
What are you doing in England?
Mind your own business, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper!

(I've always wanted to go to some English castle ruin and say that)
