No, Al, I understand just fine, just I think that 'Britishness' as a cultural definition is overwhelmingly English, rather than also including the Celtic parts of the UK.
Kroney understands, you really should pay attention more.

Which is a shame, since "Britain"
linguistically, is a Celtic origin term.

The word is separate to the meaning.
You know that.

Yep, like I said, it's a shame.

*sigh*
I am not referring to which island or country I live on or in.

I am culturally Scottish, and define myself as Scottish. I do not consider myself to be culturally British, as that includes things which are culturally alien to me.

Alright?

There's no need to be defensive, I am not disagreeing with you.
I just think it's a shame that a word that was of Celtic origin is no longer really accepted by its people as theirs.
