There are four nations that form Great Britain, England Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland, each of those four have separate identities, and the nationals of each tend to call themselves English, Welsh, Scottish, or Irish. Most of us tend to identify more by our Country of birth rather than as British, there is national rivalry, most light hearted, although it does have a more serious side, and each of the nations has its own representative assembly, with the exception of England, Each also has its own national sports teams. So although British we tend to call ourselves firstly by the country of our birth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PtQKVsHB70 It is well known that many Scottish football fans would root for the Charles Manson Baby-Slaughtering 11 if they were playing against England. For example, Scotland song for when their team went to Argentina for the World Cup in 1978: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcE86JmIN3E Quote:
He who laughs last laughs longest. Scotland were eliminated in the first round. Scotland 1 - Peru () 3 Scotland 1 - Iran () 1 Scotland 3 - Holland 2 Three points and eliminated on goal difference. Yet, and here is where Savage does not know the forces he is playing with, no matter what we do or say among ourselves, we remain mutually loyal when AN Other tries to mess with any of us.

Britain,Great Britain and the British Isles are geographical terms.Britain is the island containing England, Scotland and Wales (alphabetical order to avoid offence) , Great Britain is Britain plus the surrounding islands and the British Isles comprise Great Britain plus the island of Ireland.

The term British Isles is widely used by geographers and geologists. And Rupert should have known better than to describe Wales as a Nation, it is not it is a principality. Wales has never had a King or Queen a its Head of State only a prince so it is a principality.

I consider Wales to be one of the four nations (sorry, billybunter, I know you don't consider Northern Ireland to be one of the four; lets just say it is arguable either way). If Wales ever went her own way, she might turn herself into a principality again along the lines of Monaco; that could have advantages. But I hope an independent Wales (or Scotland) is a far day from now and I not here to see it.
