I said calling Rick "British" was vague, not wrong. He's Welsh, and proud of it. (By his own admittance, and how else did Cymraeg end up as one of the menu languages on "Everything, Everything"? (The others of course being the obviously-required English, and very justifiably-included Japanese.))

They're both British, but call a Welshman a "Londoner" and he'll almost certainly take offense.

hold on a minute - it was you who claimed that only karl was from 'britain proper' (post #395) so clearly it was 'completely necessary' to point out that both are british.
