Incidentally, you reminded me of another cliché that gets up my nose:
* people who say British (or <shudder> 'Brit') when they mean English. I'm sure the Welsh, Scots, Irish and similar regional minorities get the same reaction.

Calling someone British can be correct. For example, I have Welsh, Irish and English ancestors.
