Jam

And ALL dessert is pudding.

Even without the monarchy or M.P.F.C., the Brits would still be amusing to a fault.

I've always wondered how they managed to spread colonies around the globe and greatly influence world affairs, yet failed to subdue the Scots, right there in their own backyard.

Y'know, I always suspected he was gay. All that hanging about with 12 other guys, and putting down women...

The Scots were and are British and they took a major part in the creation of the empire.

When I was visting the Restaurant at the End of the Universe Jesus was expressing disappointing that he was just now getting to making Boro Nut's card but unfortunately the universe ended before he could send it.

That, of course, is impossible.

Are the Irish considered British?

Northern Ireland is part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", so I suppose that people from NI are not "British", though they are UK subjects. Eire, of course, is nothing to do with Britain anyway.

My map identifies Scotland as part of the UK since 1707, and my encyclopedia identifies the Scottish people as branching from Ireland in the 500's.

Semantically, I thought "British" equates with "English". Is this incorrect? You agree that the Irish are not British - why would it different for the Scottish?

My impression is that the Scots are very proud and independant - I would be surprised to learn that they consider themselves British.

Then what do the Brits call jam?

Come to think of it, I don't know what the difference between jelly and jam is, anyway. So nevermind.
