I have noticed that UK is now
used more than Britain or
England. What do you call
yourselves? British or English?
Or just what is the proper name for your country now?

I am what ever the politically correct thought police wish me to be, it is an offence to call yourself English as it could be mis- interpreted by ethnic minorities as offensive as is the Union flag or the Cross of St. George. It is, however, permissible to raise the flag of another country or call yourself Afro-Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani or any other, but not English, oh my goodness me NO, not English
