Englishmen: Do you call yourself British or English?

Posted at: 2015-06-30 
Obviously the Scots and Welsh call themselves, Scots and Welsh, go to Edinburgh and Cardiff and the Welsh and Scottish flag is everywhere, but when you go to London, you see the British flag a lot more than you would see the English flag. So what are you first, English or British?

English

British

English, never British.

Both English and British! Also, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh are also British.

English and British. I've lived happily in Wales for some 25 years.

English first. British second. I object to God Save The Queen being played at sporting events involving England. God Save The Queen is the anthem of the United Kingdom, not of England.

The Queen and Royal Family rule over all of us (English, Scots, Welsh, Northern Irish), so we are ALL the royals' British subjects and show our allegiance to them. GSTQ

Can I just point out, as a Welsh person, we call ourselves Welsh & British because that is what we are, like all other BRITISH..Lived in Scotland many years too and they are NOT all rampant nationalists..WE know the difference between being British and Welsh etc....

I tend to use both terms.

I suppose British is the term I use more often, but I have said English from time to time as well.

Based on past form, i think I tend to use British for the non-British, and English for the non-British.
