England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

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.

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.

I agree ! As Scot I find itfunny we can battle together through wars but then go back to disliking each other. I can easily clasee mysef as British as together we have some great history. We all have individual history that makes each countey special so rightfully we are all proud of our individual indentities.

Scots are known as Jocks to some, when I worked in London the lads at work gave me the name Jockney as joke beacause they liked me and aceppted me as an honourary Cockney !
