@Fangirlsarah1996 I thought Northern Ireland was part of Britain legally but apparently not

@lorne13 Northern Ireland is in the UK yes, not Britain.

@lorne13 "Britain" is an island, more formally known as Great Britain, and is the largest of the 6,000 islands making up the British Isles. Northern Ireland is a six-county region on the island of Ireland, also part of the British Isles, and separate from the Republic of Ireland which occupies the rest of the island.

Together, Northern Ireland and Great Britain form the "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

@Fangirlsarah1996 Exactly!

British is the safe way to go, lol. Never call a Welsh person English, and probably vice versa (!)

But they are all British ;)

No, I go with the specific. English and Scottish are so different. Although I admit I don't know much of Welsh culture.

If I’m abroad I call myself British but at home I’m English 🙂

@PainfulTruth Ahh, so true. I'm also American and have learned that one!

Sometimes a broad term is the best way to go.

I prefer the term “crumpet-sniffer” as a good catch-all.
