British, simply because it's accurate. When England has its own seat at the UN I guess I will be English.
On the same note it really annoys me when foreigners (usually Americans) refer to Brits as "English" when England is merely the main province of our country (albeit the one I happen to have been born in, and live in now).

I'd have to say I consider myself English. Simply becasue, if you asked me how scottish, welsh, or irish I am, I would say very little or not at all.
Also my country is England, not the others that make up britain. I support england in all country related competitions when I can etc etc.
I only ever use britain when england cant be. -

I prefer English to British, but not for the reasons most seem to have chosen. I often see the term 'British' as a bit of an 'f-you' towards the Scottish and Welsh.
The reason i say that is because even though there are a plenty of educated people from all around the world who know what the term really stands for, there is an equal amount if not more who believe Britain is just England. By the way i dont know if anyone has noticed but often in sports, usually something like the olympics where a commentator will praise an Englishman/woman if he/she wins something by calling him/her English somewhere in the praise whereas if a Scotsman/woman or Welshman/woman wins its "a proud day for britain."
Didnt even notice till a friend idly pointed it out.
Ill be honest ive only heard that a few times and this is just my opinion and intepretation, ive got nothing wrong with people who see Britain as a friendly union between nations who want to go forward together. -

I'm Welsh, and have been brought up to be very patriotic, so for me I say Welsh, I rarely class myself as British, however I'm extremely proud of the unity we show in various things so I can see why people would prefer British.

Mother's Irish, father's Scottish, I was born and brought up in England.
I would call myself:
A Sandancer, if I was speaking to someone on Tyneside.
A Geordie, if I was somewhere else in the UK.
I would say I was English if I was abroad.
But my nationality is British.
