When did 'England' become an independant country !?

Off topic, but thought to mention it... In my country it is generally rare to use name United Kingdom or even Great Britain in every day talk. Usually the name England is used when referring to the UK. In every day talk I too have kind of habit to commonly use name England. In case of Adler's post I guess it's the similar thing in question.

It might be common to refer to The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland as England but in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the Isle of Man it is considered rude and patronising. I am Welsh 1st, British 2nd and European a very very distant 3rd but I am not and never will be English. We have our own language and culture, our own sports teams which beat english teams quite regulary and a history that stretches back as far as Englands.

On a side note, over here in the states, we usually refer to Great Britain as Britain or more often, England. Scotland is refered to as Scotland, Ireland is Ireland, and the same goes for Wales and of course, Isle of Man.

Wouldnt you be a bit annoyed if I called the United States Air Force the Texan air force after all why not its all America.

I was born and brought up in Wales I now live in England but I am not english note where I use e and where I use E. My partner was born and brought up in Latvia she now has a BRITISH passport and is very proud of it but she is not english.

In continental europe we Brits are considered to be rude ill educated drunkards but I would never consider for example calling someone from the Saxony region of Germany a Bavarian because I know it is rude and would upset them. I can understand an American calling me english after all we are a very small group of islands a long way from your country but why do Europeans still persist. Perhaps its history, at school I learnt about the 30 years war, the Diet of Worms, the continental system,the zollverien, Bismark and Garibaldi. Obviously no one from Europe bothers to learn about the Norman conquest, Robert the Bruce, Owain Glin'dwr or Charles Parnell.

Well actually, Adler was right. Those planes WERE all English. Southampton, Hatfield, Kingston and Gloucester are all in England, after all. So there.

Okay in future I will call the bf 109 a Bavarian aircraft and the Lockheed p38 a californian aircraft

If you like, go for it. You wont be wrong.

1. Thank you Waynos. People are looking way to much into this. If they wish to be offended over nothing, so be it. I don't give a damn, because it was not intended to be that way.

2. Correct me if I am wrong. The Spitfire was not designed or built in Wales or Scottland or any other location was it? Then that makes the plane English!

You need to lighten up. You are looking way to much into it.
