He is saying you can be English without being British. Thoughts? He also says England isn't part of Europe. Is he just being a brit fag?

When an English person is introducing themselves, they will call themselves English. People from Wales will say they're Welsh, Scotland is Scottish and Northern Irish... Well, fuck them. You will NEVER hear them say that they're British.

I'm not saying that we AREN'T British, but you can definitely be more specific. God damn, North Americans can't grasp simple things.

Geographically the UK is in Europe and it is also part of the European Union, What more would you want it to have to consider it a part of Europe? Use Euros?

It depends on location and I understand what Main is talking about. This is probably going to come out wrong, but in a small area you have many different "cultural entities," you might say. North and South England consider themselves different.

Then you have Scotland to the north and Whales to the west. The Welsh aren't English. Have you ever spoken to someone from Whales? If you think you can decipher Northern English then the Welsh are even thicker in accent.

North of Edinburgh, Scotland? Totally different than the bordering England/ish area.

Ireland? You have the southwest that still speak fucking Gaelic and then you have areas as close as Killarney in County Kerry, literally a few miles a way where you'd barely hear any at all. Then you have fucking Northern Ireland, a completely different beast and actually part of the EU.

The UK is nothing like the States.

Also, I did not mean to infer that "accent" or "language" divides areas. They are totally different areas, identities and mind sets.

That is not really the same thing, the united states isn't a continent like Europe is. It would be like saying Canada is a part of North America, because it is.

You can be British without being English, but you can't be English without being British. English refers to being born in England, British refers to being born in either England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland.
But I can see where Main is coming from. For example, if you met someone who was French (France kind, not Canadian) they'll say they're French not European, even though both is true. Saying you're British makes you relate to the Welsh/Scottish/Irish, and a LOT of English don't like doing that. So we call ourselves English as opposed to British to stay true to our country.

I never once said that being British isn't correct. I'm just saying you can get much more specific. Clearly "tea and crumpets" are what people link with England so it's an ENGLISH thing, not fucking British.
