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

Wouldn't your typical Scot be a little offended at being discribed as British? "Human imagination has been sculpted by the universe within which it was born" Hmmmm...

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.

Bwahahahahahahaha! But seriously, I was trying to come up with some more "American" expressions and that was the one that came to mind. David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

She's obviously a sour fat old trout. Anyway, nobody's English in London anyway - everybody knows that. Their on the whole from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Zimbabwe. :-D
And I guess I should be apologising on behalf of all my Australian mates who have headed over there. I get regular reports from them and "shameless" would barely do them justice. :D cheers, Chris Maunder

Ahh... I've always wondered what the difference between Great Britain and United Kingdom were. The main difference is that "United Kingdom" is a political entity and "Great Britain" is a geographical entity (the largest island in the the British Isles) Steve T.

If I was born in SA but moved to England at the age of one, I would consider myself English, not South African. Or do blacks and whites think differently on the matter? I always find it strange that African-Americans make such a big thing out of the fact that they came from Africa originally. I don't hear European-Americans proclaiming they originally came from England or France. Are you proudly African even though you have been in England all your life? Do you practice African ways as opposed to English ways? Or is it just that your ancestors where African?
