It's strange why that lady would say that, over here we hardly ever refer to someone as 'british', it's usually english, scottish and welsh. I've never met someone who refers to themselves as british and not english, maybe she's just very patriotic or something.


It is strange though, when you think about it, why there are so many collective names for our little countries, and they all mean something slightly different, like britain, british isles and the united kingdom. Don't ask me to tell you the difference between them because i'm not entirely sure!
