Maybe the fault lies with Ms. McLaren. About seven out of the first ten hits on Google appear to consist of articles by fellow Canadians which comment on how annoying she is. Gavin Greig

What is the difference? Is it: English -> from England British -> from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (Am I missing any?)

I can't see any reason why. Some people are very patriotic in that respect. In the recent census for the UK, there was a fuss over people putting their nationality as "Welsh" or "British", in my country. Both are valid. Simon "This is an equal opportunities airline.

I'd say it may well be true (at least it sounds true) for some people you hear about - namele people who read daily pornpapers like the Daily Sport or the Sun - but I can honestly say I have never met one. Well that's not entirely true, I did see a Sun reader once on the bus into the city, pretending to read the weather report whilst tilting his head at some page three slut's latest additions. (Slightly off-topic, maybe, but honestly - the fact the Sun is the number one paper in Britain says a lot about the British, and it isn't good) Anyway, continuing on-topic: there could well be a cultural difference between the city-bound Londoners and thier rules and order, and those like myself who have been raised and live in the countryside with its pretty smells and colours. Round here you don't ask pretty girls for phone numbers, you ask which fields they farm so you know daddy wont be doing a late night shift in the barn. Well, so to speak anyway. ;P
