An explanation of the difference between 'British' and 'English', for those who don't understand and would like to :)

Not in any way patronising or rude to anyone, at least its not supposed to be! lol

Plus, thanks to all who commented on my first video - Accents of the World

ETA - I am aware that I messed up the difference between GB and UK, and I'm sorry. Everybody makes mistakes, right? I also know that I need a new mic! lol

  • WRONG!

    Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales

    United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales

    Great Britain is NOT a country

  • You are wrong, actually.

    Great Britain and United Kingdom are NOT the same thing.

    Great Britain is not a country, it's just and island. England, Scotland and Wales are on that Island. The UK, officially United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the state, that includes Northern Ireland as well as the 3 countries in Great Britain.

  • @Flamorgan Some people don't think about their words before they open their mouths, sadly. My old Nan always said "If you know nowt, say nowt." If only she was still around, she'd give 'em a word or two. :D

  • @stephenk3023 BUT THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN IRELAND ARE BRITISH. FACT!!!!!

  • Some people use Great Britain to describe the British Empire

  • @TheRANDOMxxx Also when people say British Isles that also includes Republic of Ireland.

  • The English are British so i before i even watch this im going to leave.

  • @hibeesrules - English people are just as tired of the mistake as you are, trust me. :)
