I think there are too many variations on what exactly is our nationality.
I am British, born in the British Isles
The Scots are also born in the British Isles, the Scottish part
The Welsh are the same , but born in Wales
The Irish have their own country.
We have always had a British Army, British Navy & British Air Force
The British Expeditionary Force 1914-1919
British Mediteranian Force 1914-1919
British Army of occupation 1945.
British Army in Iraq etc.
We don't compete in games on an international level other as Gt Britain, its the laguage that we speak that is English.
