A lot of us ARE Brits (English, Welsh, Scots-Irish, Scottish, Irish descent, etc..)so why would we put down our ancestors? No, it's the smarmy, self-righteous, patronizing Brits that we abhor!

I would avoid saying something like this in Scotland, Ireland or Wales if I were you. It would be a good way to lose some teeth.

Small correction. Irish(unless in Northern Ireland) aren't Brits unless those of Irish blood emigrated to England/Scotland.

My grandfather whose full blooded Irish would go insane if he was called a Brit.
