I know what Great Brittan consists of and I know the English are from England?.but I have NEVER heard a Scotsman or Irishman say they were British. (I guess that??s what I??m getting at.)
I've heard Scottish and Welsh people call themselves British. Technically, they are British, but a lot of people like to think they aren't. To be honest, if I was Welsh I'd want to be British, not Welsh, just because Wales is so small.
I see so basicly it's just a pride thing.....thanks man.Quote:

lol, i like the Irish accent, and not many people i know seem to like the Welsh (always called sheep shaggers and stuff like that lol) I personally don't have a problem with them (no offence to any Welsh people here for the sheep shagger comment, even though i didn't say it) :)
