I hate it when people call me British or say I'm from the UK. I'm English, from England.

No, you are British. But you can keep telling yourself that you aren't, if it makes you feel any better.

What the hell are you talking about? The English are a subset of the British. :/

That's a Euler diagram. I don't think they're trying to be geographically accurate.

They could have put it underneath Ireland, that would have been close enough, but the other side of Britain is a little silly regardless of how rough the diagram. I wouldn't make a euler diagram of say a man depicting his head in the location of his bum. Aha ha.

What's your problem? I call myself English because that is the country I live in. I don't care if it's a subset or whatever. Do you say you live in Europe? No you don't.

I live in a country. I don't live in 3 or 4 just 1. What is so hard to understand about me living in England? I'm proud to be English. Sorry if I offend you in some way.

I'm not denying the existence of Europe you fool.

Let me put it this way. If someone asks me where I live I say Cumbria, England. Because that's the country. If I said UK or Britain that doesn't help as they aren't countries. And I wouldn't say Europe as that's not exactly specific.

The United Kingdom and Great Britain are countries. England is a country within those countries.

I knew they all weren't the same, but I didn't know the exact areas of each.

My giddy Aunt - perish the thought dear fellow. Unfortunately when it comes to Great Britain we have those filthy Scots and Welsh lumped in with us as well. Every time I think of it I need to take a bath. Ewww (Joke by the way of course...)

I didn't learn about it in school and honestly didn't know the differences until an OT topic last year.

The United Kingdom and Great Britain are countries. England is a country within those countries.

Great Britain isn't a country - it's the principle island of the United Kingdom.

I wanna know where people classify Faroe Islands in? Also I hate it when people assume you're from England when they hear the word UK.

Dont worry, we have a movement going on here where calling yourself English makes you feel astronomically better about yourself in contrast to your economic condition.;)

England is in the United Kingdom.

Great Britain is another term for UK used by many people.

Even that isn't correct, though.
