Why do people get so flustered If someone describes themselves as English.
Do you just jump to nationalistic cliché in your head automatically?
I find this a very British attitude, Brits are so quick to self deprivation. Is that the right word. My English is actually getting worse. I can feel it.

So you're English but want to be Scottish?As an English person living in Scotland, I am British.
During the Six Nations I tell people I didn't choose where I was born but did choose where I live.

The United Kingdom may not be Utopia, but I am often having to explain to born and bred locals that it is still an amazing place and to stop slagging it off.

Yeah my point was that Britain doesn't include Northern Ireland - but to be fair (like you say), most assume it does.British or Irish or Both. I mean, there's literally an international treaty about this.

Britain in the proper definition doesn't. It refers to the British Isles, of which NI is not part."Britain" does: it refers to the UK. "Great Britain" often doesn't.

It's not that Great Britain 'often' doesn't. It's that NI just isn't part of Great Britain.
