Yeah but it's actually nice that he's Scottish.

Not that the rest of the world is famous for not being able to tell the difference between England and Britain, never mind between Britain and the United Kingdom, or anything tongue.gif

Well, you got me here. I don't know any of these differences huh.gif You guys lost the 50th annual Suisse-British Parliament Ski-Race ;-) But Prince Edwards was quite good. Id like to play once again against England (or however you name your country) in Germany this summer...I'm convinced we could win...

England is but one country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. If you called someone from Wales British, you'd most likely be correct. If you called him English, you might get a black eye or a terse correction.

That's at least how I understand things in my curmudgeonly Yankee brain.
