Sorry to have offended you, mate. Yes, I recognize that the terms England and Britain are not 100% equivalent terms. However, in common usage English is used to refer to the blokes from Britain given that the English make up nearly 90% of the British population. Given that the culture of the Anglo-Americans (the subject of my post) is derived almost entirely from the English (as opposed to the Scottish or Welsh) I think I can be forgiven for using the two terms interchangeably. But, in order to not offend your Scottish ears any further

I will endeavour to be more specific in the future.
