The non-English especially the Scots, will get annoyed if you call them "English". Perhaps a Texan would feel the same way about being called a "Yank".

For a start, they are faithful members of the Church of England while in England, and faithful members of the Church of Scotland every Christmas (because Balmoral is in Scotland)

Lord, I hate the term "Yank."
Anyway, I've pretty much given up on mentally distinguishing UK, England and Britain even despite having looked at geographical charts of it and afterwards the information flying right out of my head. The most significant thing I've learned in the past was that Wales is actually a separate country, and not just some province of Britain. (Do the English royal family have double allegiances?)
Then again, it's likely that I know exactly crap about the rest of the world.
