something in what you say, Allan Conn but it's misunderstanding of the geographical situation.... British equals 'from Britain' surely?

I can't call myself Welsh or Scottish just because I want to!

Mind you, how many war films are there where the fiendish Nazi says in broken English something like 'Ve vill destroy ze Engeland and vin ze var, schveinhund'
Bet a lot of Scots Irish & Welsh soldiers still get annoyed about that!
