I don't mean to be an ***, but most of them have a Brittish location under the "location" entry under their name. Gav, for example, is Scottish, which counts.

But I'll not stand in his way if you call him English

Or, at least if he's typical of the other Scots I came across this summer

I'm half British, and I have a lot cousins and such over there. I love foreigners. (and now I am one! Woo!)

Oh! And you can call them 'Brits' only as long as you don't mind being called a 'Yank'. My cousins call me their lovable Yank, and I just call them my silly Brits. It's hilarious to see our conversations. Hehe... Yank... 'tis such a silly word.

Well you know why they call us yanks, right?

Yes, Manethrin's post is one of the most depressing I've seen on this board. So many spelling, grammatical, and cultural errors in such a short message, combined with an absurdly heart-wrenching desire not to offend yet presuming that offense must occur, it makes me wonder at the state of our schools.

[Gav]

Like others have mentioned you can refer to us as "Brit's" so long as you do not mind being referred to as "yanks". You can try to refer to me as a "limey" but I am very likely to either ignore you or refer to you in a manner much less pleasing on the eye than "yank". For the record it would be absurd to refer to me as a limey considering that I've never been to sea.

Additionally, I don't think of myself as a "Brit" per se, I prefer "Scot".

[Gav]

And seeing as someone is being PC don't ever refer to Great Britain or the UK as "England". It's not, and it makes you look a bit stupid.

[Black Jeebus]

Off topic I know, but the only thing I have ever seen the Scots and the Irish really agree on is a sort of disdain for the English.

[J.Harris]

You're a torie at heart?

Yep, but that's only my cousins, and they love to tease me. Their friends are much nicer, I've never been called a Yank by them, but they refer to me and the awesome Yank girl... it was really funny when I was first told about it, someone thinks that I'm awesome! hehehehe It's nice, when I move over there I'll already have some contacts.

I'm British, but I would consider myself Canadian since I've been in BC longer than any other place. I was born in London and I lived there until I moved to Vancouver when I was four. My biological father is still in Britain, and I have a grandma and aunts around there, too.

I don't really wish I was British but I do wish I could speak Cockny (sp?)

[the doc]

being a londoner, i shall happily teach anyone who wishes to learn cockney. the cockney will refer to his american friends as a septic.

and for reference the english have an equal disregard for the scots and irish. i am all for scottish independence.

I thought your name was Gav? But we can call you Scott if you like. I wouldn't call you Britt, though, that's a girl's name.

[Sarah]

Whoa! I want Scottish independence! That would be so awesome. Go clan Ross!

[latenight]

OK

so the english and scots and irish don't always think the highest of each other.

But what do the scots think of the irish and vice versa.

What about the welsh? Tom Jones was groovy!

My grandfather is a Ross. In fact my name is Ross- since my uncle already shared his first name my mother gave me her father's last name.

EDIT: So uhhh... Yeah Clan Ross all the way!

EDIT#2: I am deeply sorry for the initial statement of this post. It is convuluted and full of extraneous information. Should anyone require further clarification... screw you- I'm not explaining anything!

We've got a family friend who is a Wallace.
