First thing I learned when I came out to Scotland for uni. English != British, and your Welsh friends will get pissed when you make the mistake.

Not Quebec. There's no way that the Quebecese (Quebecians?) are really British. No Brit in his right mind would willingly speak French.

Culturally perhaps we can take some solace in the fact that our little island developed quite seperately... politically we're still divided between remaining on the US' leash or kow-towing to the EU... But geopgraphically we are pretty much European.

How about "Non-American" because let's face it, compared to THE BEST COUNTRY ON EARTH the rest of you all just kind of blend together. Europe is that city that kind of looks like a gun, right?

I don't see the what big deal about being called a European is, if someone called me a North American I wouldn't be offended because I am after all from that continent.

Because some people over here have a perception that they've been "fighting the fight" against Europe for all of their history... Britons are proud of having resisted invasion multiple times as well as sitting back and drinking tea watching the Europeans slaughter one another whilst we either finance who we want to win or just skip off in a boat to colonise India.
