British, Welsh, Scots are undiscriminately refered to as "les anglais", a little less for the Scots to be true.

A well-known fact is that "les anglaises sont rousses avec des grandes dents" (all Englishwomen are red-haired with big teeth)

The popular and familiar nickname for English people is "les rosbifs" from the noun roast-beef that some French found funny-sounding - the perfect idea of the way English pronounce words when talking to foreigners.
