Have you ever wondered why some people say England, others say Great Britain and other says the United Kingdom? Are they all the same thing? Here's the answer!
Thank you so much for this explanation Funmi. I would like to explain the G7 and G 20 countries, what exactly do they do and how do they get to choose which country is part of the group.
Thank you! This explanation was so clear and made it very easy to understand. One thing I would like clarified is why (in North America) we usually refer to someone from England as being British rather than English. Whereas someone from Wales is Welsh and Scotland is Scottish. Perhaps because of the North American understanding of the difference between England and Great Britain. 🤔
So based on my understanding of your explanation, technically those from Wales and Scotland would also be British OR those from England should really be English, not British?
Everyone of them is British. Scotland people are Scottish and British. England people are English and British. Wales people are Welsh and British. Northern Ireland people are not British, because they don’t fall under Britain but they are of the United Kingdom.
Of course, non English people may relate less to the British term than English people, on a historical or emotional level.
Waooooo, I have definitely learnt a lot today. God bless you my darling daughter. I will share this knowledge. It was so confusing when used but you diset it very sì.ply. Great. Go girl. U're a genius. God bless you for taking time off for these reasons.

I don't think North Americans are alone in this. It is quite common.

Very interesting. Thank you for your patience in answering my questions and your very clear explanations. 🙏🏼
You are welcome, thank you so much for being here.
Thanks a lot for this study... More wisdom
Thank you for this, Funmi
Knowledge gained.
Didn’t know Northern Ireland is different from Ireland.
Thanks for the summary.
I have learnt something new, thank you Funmi🙏
I never knew that Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain. I always assumed that GB and UK are one and the same.
Thanks for the geographical clarification.
Thank you for this Funmi, I’ve learnt something new.xx
I've always wondered about this but not actually taken time to research. This was informative and refreshing. Thank you!
Same here.
I don't have any comments for this moments.
Thanks for the teaching Funmi. I have always wondered why a country will have 3 different names.
Interesting and informative read!
