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.

That's equally fair, imo. I think probably at official/legal levels it's one way. At personal levels, it's the other. I'd guess (but have no real idea) that people from N. Ireland and Scotland would rather calls themselves Irish and Scots respectively, rather than British. Most people I know, including myself, first associate the term "British" with England. I have no idea WTF the Welsh care about.

Yep that's perfectly fair, I do like to point out what britain means when I can however as I find it very irritating when I'm (for example) with a scottish person and an American will refer to me as british and them as scottish.

Sorry, I had no idea why you posted that so I just went with a random character from a film.

Yes I can understand Harrison Ford and Trainspotting, some random accents in America I can't understand.
