British are bunch of thick people ruled by a mafia, says Iran's vice president

[Englishman2010]

Funny thing is, wherever I've been in the world, many people haven't heard of Great Britain, but instead its England this, England that. Even in Europe, I've come across people who've no idea where Scotland or Wales is.

I understand what you are saying Rob, although I am English, I consider myself to be British and always say I am from Britain or the UK, even though my user name says Englishman
I feel that as the main language of the Uk is English and 80% of the UK population is English there will always be a bias towards the term English being used.
I find it strange that in some parts of the world some people think the UK and US is the same place That's probably got far more to do with our Foreign Policy of kissing America's ass all of the time than anything else though.
