ShockForge, you reminded me of a quote.
PLEASE realise that this is not an act of racism, I quote verbatim...
"Apparently people are nicknamed by what their nation eats, so the French are frogs, we're roast beef and America is fat" - Angus Deayton, Have I Got News For You.
Raven Vegeta, thanks for the compliment, but when I go abroad, I try to make sure people know I'm Scottish and not British. We Scots tend to be friendly in other countries, and get involved with their cuture and language. Again, I want to make it clear that I'm not a racist, but the stereotypical Brit abroad speaks plain English and acts as if their hosts are stupid because they don't know their language. It makes me sick really, that someone would actually do that. When a foreigner realises that I'm Scottish, and especially when I'm talking to them in their own language, I gain a lot of respect. This goes well in France in particular, as we're old allies. It creates a tremendous sense of well-being. I have even studied Chinese traditions at the dinner table, and when the staff realise that I'm keeping to their traditions
in my own country, they become very respectful. I'm not vain, it just feels good to connect with someone.
The word British extends from the britons. Anyone played Age of Empires 2?

Our equivalent would be the celts.
This has "Fiasco" written all over it.
