It depends, Al
While I'm proud to be Scottish, I have no objection to being called British. In fact, if someone asks me my nationality, I tell them it's British.
I do object to being called English though! I've found that many non-Brits, Americans in particular, don't know the difference between England and the UK. I did fill one girl in on the subtleties of the individual parts, Great Britain, the UK and the British Isles when I was over in the US on holiday this year.
I think she was more confused once I'd finished!
