Best Answer

English

To be technically correct, people from England are English, though you will also hear them referred to (correctly) as being 'British', and they will often describe themselves as such. The term 'British' could also be applied to people from Scotland and Wales, as together they comprise 'Great Britain'.

In practical terms however, depending upon how strongly or pedantic an individual feels, they may refer to themselves as Scottish or Welsh respectively, to differentiate themselves from being seen as 'English'!

People from England aren't incorrectly described as being British. They ARE British and travel on a British passport - as do people from Scotland and Wales. People from England, Scotland and Wales may well legitimately describe themselves as being English, Scottish or Welsh but in international law they are British. It's a bit like saying that someone from Texas is incorrectly described as being American.

Sorry - I'm missing your point entirely?

No-where did I mention 'incorrectly', if you read my initial response properly.
