Well Great Britain is a collection of countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. So if you're from England, English. Wales, Welsh. Scotland, Scottish, Northern Ireland, Northern Irish. But on a whole British. But nobody really cares anyway.

Well the actual Island can be UK, United Kingdom, British Isles, Great Britain... but England only applies to England.

Therefore I'd go with the UK or British Isles, Great Britain versions unless you are certain you are talking to an English/Scottish/Welsh person.

The big tado over Welsh/English/Scottish is mainly over nationally ... we hate (or at least I do) being lumped with the choice of "White British"
