    Slightly OT but I hate being UKish, especially online. Whenever you have to fill in an online form with a dropdown box to select your country it never offers England, Wales etc, only United Kingdom. Sorry but last time I checked United Kingdom was not a country!

    Just bugs me lol
    According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK, United Kingdom is a country. England is a "constituent country".
    (To some extent, though, I agree with you. I would say I was British, but the country I come from is England.)

    Oh and for the record, I'm not particularly proud to be either!
