This thread is great , although I think you'll find there's nothing great about 'Great Britain' anymore - I hereby reckon it should be called 'The United Kingdom of England', sorry Scotland, Wales and Ireland, you'll just have to fall victim to a good 'ol bit of English prejudice and be excluded from the title.
That type of attitude is exactly why the Welsh, Scottish and Irish don't like the English.

What, you mean because we recognise that we are superior to you?
I think I managed to capture the essence of Britain quite nicely in my first post, how the rest of the world considers the 2 main islands as 1... The UK, yet England considers itself 'The UK'. I honestly have nothing against our Gealic brethren and see no reason to do so, I have Scottish and Welsh friends - I think the faux rivalry must be for the same reason the British pretend to hate the French, discrimination based on ancient rivalry, now more of just a harmless tongue-in-cheek joke
- And I also find it ironic that Indian food is a British national dish...
