English or British?

[clarebear]

I believe people coming from England, Scotland and Wales are British.

I was going to say the same thing!.

Pure English people are from such as Liverpool like myself, London, Leeds, Manchester and so on.

Sounds like a bitchy British to me LOL Sorry I couldnt resit lol.

Can you tell I am starting to feel more at home??? LOL

I am Scottish and proud!!!!! I don't mind being called British but will correct someone if they ask if i am English!!!! Just me!!!

I don't get snippy or rude about it, but when I went aboard and they kept calling us "Yanks" or "Yankees", I did find myself correcting people. Texan or Southern, but not a Yank.

But, Yankees are northerners, aren't they? I guess it depends on who's doing the calling. Ha ha. I was wondering, though, who was calling you a Yankee? I mean, my dad's from Maine, and, we tease him by calling him a Yank sometimes. But, maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you meant.

I think the fact that ParNone said that she went abroad, means that the people calling her a yankee would not have been from the US. Yet another international misunderstanding, I think!

Oh, crap. I thought she meant she went on a cruise. D'oh. Ha ha. How funny. Yeah, when you read it as abroad, it makes sense. But, I guess I didn't realize people outside of the US called all US folks yankees...you learn something new every day!

[Killearn Kitties]

I didn't even read that as "aboard"! How funny.
