I'm pretty sure people from Northern Ireland count as British. Since the British isles generally includes Great Britain, the Isle of Man and Ireland.

Meh, I have a friend who knows him and says he's a prick.

I've heard that Rupert is the only one who isn't a twat. Yes, I know someone who is in the HP movies, and Grint was the only one they could stand to be around.

I've wondered, but never actually researched the differences between: England, Great Britain, UK, British Isles, Commonwealth, etc, etc...

Even the image you posted shows that Northern Ireland are not a part of Great Britain...

I really don't care about geological and socio-political classifications, the only distinction I need is that you all talk funny.

Not funny 'ha-ha'. :hmm:

So what? It's part of the British isles, therefore the people are British.

Hmm It's interesting but I would imagine the British Isles classification comes more from the political area that is owned by great Britain than actually being part of britain itself. It's an interesting question though...

According to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain

Britain may refer to:
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a state in western Europe
Great Britain, the largest island in the British Isles

So I guess it depends what you are referring to, if you are referring to the UK etc then it works, if you are referring to Great Britain (as I am) then it doesn't

According to that video I linked (beats me the accuracy), British Isles is a geographic classification of the combination of the islands of Ireland, Great Britain and the other little ones in the area. I doubt people in the Republic of Ireland would call themselves British, despite the island of Ireland belonging to the isles.

The other 4 countries (N. Ireland, Wales, Scotland, England) all share a UK passport. UK being the geopolitical entity, and its citizens being called British.

Thread should be renamed to "British Isles, England, UK, Great Britain...WTF?"

All very fair, but I would still classify british people as those from Britain, not those from the UK, this may be a distinction that is different in other peoples mind, I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just saying that is the distinction I am making.
