It's all because of Englands sectarian history. The cultures vary wildly. The Welsh language is the strongest it has been for a long time, as are English, Scottish and Welsh local, native languages. (althow I speak none of these) |
OK, you are English. Are there any geographical boundries (I can find the political boundries) which can be easily applied?
I don't want to insult anyone by calling them English when they are Welsh, and visa versa.
EDIT: The Duke of Wales is English? Is the Royal Family still the House of Hanover? Germans? More cheese and rice.
EDIT 2: Should I be thinking about Celts, Saxons and Normans as well? What nationality was Robin of Locksley , Arthur Pendragin, St Andrew, Richard the Lion Hearted, King John of Magna Carta fame, William the Conquerer, Mary Queen of Scotts (and the English?)?
So many questions. Perhaps I should take a class about the history of Britain from the time of Rome to present day.
