Great Britain England is one of the countries which make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The others are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If you are talking about, for example, the County of Yorkshire, that is in England. On the other hand the City of Cardiff is in Wales, Edinburgh is in Scotland and Belfast is in Northern Ireland. The one time you should not say "England" is when you really mean "The United Kingdom." For example, there is no Queen of England or Prime Minister of England, They are Queen of the United Kingdom and Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. Saying "England" when you mean "The United Kingdom" is like saying "Texas" when you really mean "The US." - ignorant and potentially offensive.
