We Scots HATE being called English, not British. A huge number of the world's population(including most English people, I'm afraid to say)are under the wrong impression that England and Britain are the same thing. England and Scotland are two members of the same union in a sort of similar way to, say, the EU (OK not, really but it'll do as an example).Calling Britain England, is the same as calling Europe France. Calling Scotland England, is the same as calling Germany France.
Anyway that's enough of that!

i'm apparenty switzerland, also.
not that anyone knows me or particularly cares but i can also pass on my star sign and favourite colour.

all of this 'which country are you' does, though, give me a new found sense of solidarity with m. de Bloc. for a moment. are the swiss really like that? the swiss seem to avoid conflict, m. de bloc seems to encourage it. the swiss really do live in high places, whereas the old de bloc just seems to imagine he does.
is there a forum where i can bait de bloc in private?? i'm bored and it would help pass the time..

sorry, m. de bloc, just having a laugh.

but away from you.
it does seem such a little known fact out there amongst the non-british english speaking world that we don't call ourselves british.
britain was an archaic term dragged back into use after the ' union' of england and scotland. previously, i believe, it was the name of one of the many tribes of celts on the islands, some of them went off to france and hence the area brittany.
please spead the word to the ex-colonies - the english are english, the scottish are scottish, the welsh are welsh and the northern irish are a bunch of scottish presbyterians thrown over there around the same time that europeans first started shooting/ enslaving '*beep*, darkies and abo's '

Seth, the word is numpty not numky you numpty. Laughing

Nah I don't agree with that stuff about Scots hating being referred to as British. Some yeah, but judging by the huge numbers of talented Scots who have exported themselves and their talents south of the border, not the clever ones. Tony Blair is a Scot after all, though you wouldn't know it by his accent.

Once again, a proud Canadian gets pegged as an American. I want to declare war on that website (for it's own protection)!

Cheers, eh!

Sino bear and Bluejay - your avatars give a mildly disturbed feeling - I think they are creepy. I suppose it's the blueness and the expression on the unicorn's face that does it. Sinobear's doesn't need explaining.
