Australian! Fortunately that's not too confusing a term - unless somebody wants to tell me I'm actually from Austria, which sadly did happen to me on a trip to the US a few years back!
A friend of mine has a shirt from a trip to Austria which states "There are no kangaroos in Austria." It's apparently one of their big unofficial tourism slogans. :P0 -

Actually the UK is not England. It is Great Britain or England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales together.
And yes, plenty of people from this side of the water.
Jeesh, how did we ever let these people have independence? One mad king, Geroge 3rd and off they go talking about alooominum, eggs over easy, and the like when they should by rights be driving on the left and acknowledging the Queen as head of state while drinking tea and pink gin.
Yes I know, I simplified and I apologise for that. As a Scot with Irish roots I should know better. Mea maxima culpa.
You are wrong though.
Its Great Britain and Northern Ireland on the Passport, so Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales only.
It's been 120 year since we had Ireland, oh and India, 220 years since we owned the East Coast of the USA, dam chaps ruined our Tea so they did.
Also the United Kingdom is the term that is used more internationally now.
I am Cornish though which is an Independent Country, our Saints Day, St Piran, is on 5th March, so will you celebrate have a pasty with me, then make a few promises to do something which you don't keep?

A month or two ago I would have had a pasty or two with you but now they don't fit into my program, but I will raise a glass on the 5th!0 -
Although it seems we've agreed what the UK is, here is a great video explaining it more fully (it gets complicated)

I'm a stickler for good grammar and spelling,

(I kid, my Danish friends! I have a good Internet friend from Danelandia, and he jokes about how Americans are all ignorant jerks who know nothing of the world around them while I reinforce his stereotypes by joking about how Denmark is a province in Sweden and the capital is IKEA.)0 -
My father's Dutch, my mother's German, I went to 12 different schools on two continents and now I'm living in (Northern) Ireland. I'm not really "from" anywhere.0
