Obviously only answer this if you are from the UK! If you are from anywhere else, please tell me what you would say though! I'm just interested.

Just a few extra details. I think to me I'd rather be called English because I'm not Scottish etc. It would be like being called European, it's technicall right but I wouldn't want to be called that. I wondered what people preferred.

yes - I dont want scottish - welsh included - when someone says british they are including those peoples since Great Britain is both. English mean from england and NOT scotland or wales. I'm sure the scots and welsh feel the same way.

I agree and I am sure Scottish people would rather be called Scottish and the Welsh Welsh etc. What is this British it sounds so American!!!!

English through and through...it is after all, my home country, whilst "British" includes Wales and Scotland...though I am only second generation English as my ancestors are Scottish and Irish...
hmmm...have to rethink the English through and through bit!!

I think I use both equally (I'm from the US). Does "British" have some negative connotation? Either seems better than being called a "yank."

I'm from the US, but have a friend that lives there and would agree with you. I usually call someone from there an Englishman/woman, but when I want to get under my buddies skin I call him a Brit ... but he gets even :) Have a good day :)
