England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

[Mars_ax]

Yes the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are fiercely patriotic and would rightly be offended as being described as English. Just as you are proud to be a Texan but also American, but would probably not liked to be refered to as Californian but times a hundred in the case of the Welsh and Northern Irish and times a million for the Scottish.


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.

cheers

Yes Mars, I'm Welsh but when we go to War we are all British, and we fight and stick together, then after we call each other names.

That's funny, it reminds me of all the ethnic groups we have in America, Italians, French in Louisiana, Native Americans, Blacks, Latinos/Hispanics, Jews, Irish, English, German, et, al, for the most part we all get along, but when push comes to shove, blood is sometimes thicker than water.
I've noticed that when people of different ethnicities work and/or do business together, prejudice seems to fall by the wayside for the common good.

For some reason I thought you might be Irish, Dia. (no offense)
