It's all relative to taste, eh? But the Brits have the Beatles and Zeppelin on their team... so...

Some people from England don't like being called British, they seem themselves as ENGLISH. (Me being one of them, but not too fussed.)

Some people from Wales and Scotland get called English by 'Yanks' my friend from Wales got referred to by some New Yorkers as England, "Hey England." "What you upto England"

But it's just one of them things, no point in moaning about it.

The Limey? as in the Steven Soderbergh film? If so I haven't seen it yet so you're either going to have to say what you mean in a different way, or I'll just have to ignore your comment. If not, I dunno what you're on about.

That reminds me, I think it's hilarious whenever I hear someone from down south try to use "yankee" as some kind an insult, like I'm supposed to be offended. :laughing:

Coldplay are great.

I'm 23.

Brits win rock easily.

The Beatles alone ends the argument in my eyes.
