)..I've met many Americans who see England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales as being the 'British Isles'..but any American who has come to these islands and voiced that opinion, I'm sure, has been educated differently)

A few years ago, while I was in Germany, I met a bunch of students from Cardiff.

I said "Oh, you're Welsh" and they answered "No, we're British."

Surprised me.

I said "Oh, you're Welsh" and they answered "No, we're British."

Well, I have to say that surprises me. Because, I live in a town which has a port that services the UK through Wales, and we get a LOT of Welsh blokes over here on weekends. NOT a single ONE of them, have I heard calling themselves 'British'.

(Don't get me wrong..I'm 'British' friendly..but that surprises ...no AMAZES..me)
