Indeed. I dithered for a while about whether to include "Irish" in my poll. I'd initially excluded it, since I thought that it was "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland," which implies that Northern Ireland isn't part of Britain. And then there is of course all the politics involved, by which some people in Northern Ireland would doubtless proudly declare themselves to be British, whereas others would furiously deny it. I decided to evade the issue by confining myself to England, Scotland and Wales, and hope that no-one shouted at me for missing out Northern Ireland.
