Identity
Many people thing that 'English' is the same as 'British'. It is not!
People who are English live in the country of England. On the other hand, British people are people who live in Great Britain (Britain) and the UK which are made up of different countries. Although everyone has a British citizenship they have different nationalities.
England is only one of the three countries in Britain (Scotland, England and Wales). The Scots and the Welsh sometimes get angry when they are referred to as 'English'. They do not live in England and they have their own parliaments. They have their own identity. The Scots and the Welsh are proud of their separate identities and tend to be more forward about referring to themselves as Scottish or Welsh.
There are often distinct differences between people living in each of the three countries in Britain. This is because different groups of people tend to develop their own customs and way of life.
