As an Englishman I totally agree with and understand their inferiority complex.:-P
I doubt if anyone would confuse me with being from California, but since i'm from Texas, which is part of the Southern U.S. I might take exception at being called a "Yankee" (someone from the North or North-East U.S.
I can understand the Northern Irish taking exception to being called English/British, but I never realized someone from Wales or Scotland would.
