Try asking the Scots if they’re British

I work with a guy from Wales - he has a thick Welsh brougue. About once a week, some makes the mistake of calling him English. The response is usually ugly, but (quietly) amusing for the rest of us in the office.

Occasionally, someone will mistake him as Australian. He doesn't go so ballistic over that, for some reason.

“Occasionally, someone will mistake him as Australian. He doesn't go so ballistic over that, for some reason.” Hell, half his ancestor's were sent to Australia on the prison ships. No wonder he doesn't mind. How’d ya’ think a quarter of my ancestors got here in the late 1600’s? ;-) We always joke in my mother's side of the family that half her mother's family came over with Sir Francis, had Virginia and disappeared with the other half of her mother's family the Cherokee. Then they had the requisite bad judgment to inter marry with those blokes who got off the prison ships, started the Marines and started a rebellion against the crown. Man! Those were the good old days.
