May I ask what you prefer, then? I am guilty of using that term, too, but I've got friends from Britain who say that all the time. Also, my Director is from Scotland and someone called him "English" and he emphatically stated that "I'm NOT English, I'm British". Anyone referring to his nationality since has said Scot or "the now-dreaded 'B' word".  So what DO you want us to use?

Personally, I don't mind what you call me. It was just in the context of those who died that I felt it looked out of place. Of course I was a bit 'tired and emotional' which is a euphemism used by the press for 'drunk' at the time. After I posted I was watching the BBC and one of our politicians used it so I guess I'm of a different generation. I was obviously talking out of my arse!
But definitely don't call a Welshman or a Scotsman, English. They will not be at all amused.
