You been through Texas lately, Jason? Just because Tennessee doesn't have much state identification doesn't mean none of the states do.

Well, certainly many people are proud of their state (I being one of
them). Nevertheless, I'm confident in my assertion that most people from
the US are "Americans" first, as opposed to thinking of themselves as
Texans, or Southerners, or whatever. Certainly compared to the whole
devolution aspect we're discussing.

Yes but if you want to compare with the UK then we are both one of the four
countries and ALSO "British". I know lots of my English friends didn't even
consider the reality of Wales until they moved here - a few years later
they've (reluctantly) gotten used to the idea.

RD: Personally, I consider myself British rather than than English. OK I
was born in the county of Surrey with the surname Devereux (and the trouble
I have getting people to spell that correctly!).
The bit of France that is now called Normandy was named after the Norsemen
who conquered it. The norsemen adopted the French language and the French
custom of fighting fromm horseback.
Sorry, too tired to argue more.
