Great Britain - which countries does it include?

There is no English peoples but British peoples - they all use English language and there is minority of native Irish and Scottish peoples

your just trying to provoke it now aren't you! :)

There are english, irish, welsh and scottish people. Some unified under the term 'Great britain' with ENgland as its mainland.

However, we are all European (geographically & politically)

Irish that doesn't know Irish and speak only English is a Irish Citizen or also a "native Irish" if YES, where is the difference between Irish-speaking Irish and non-Irish-speaking Irish?

Irishness is a state of mind, state of belief, of up-bringing, of history, of denial, of anguish, of knowing........

Merely speaking the language......is only an addition......

Irish people speak English differently to English people......

that IS your only differnce! are americans who are not native, not americans because they cant speak cherokee or hudson?

I am native irish, and i speak little irish - doesn't make me less irish at all.

Just the same as being Polish................plus at times one had to make changes in order to survive...ie...speak the language of your masters, landlord and employer......not easy.

yea, polish who russian or german - do you hate them for it?

Ireland is awsome! I`m going there this summer to visit my Grandmother.

I cant wait to have a real Guniess not the imported kind we get In the States.
It tastes so much better there

Sledz, get here quick! the standard here is dropping fast! :P

Have you been before?...if not how do you know?


Oh, dear, I bet if I ask more than 3 questions, I will find out that I am a relation of yours....lol

My grandparents were from Shannon/Limerick area.
They came to the states after the war.
After my Grandfather passed my Grandma went back.

I`ve been there several times. Waterford and Dublin also.


No dont tell me that...:( It was so good! do they still have Harp beer?

Sledz, please dont drink harp...it is made from the river liffey :)

Ah no, im being mean sorry, The guiness is better here but we've noticed the taste not as good as it used to be

Phew...that was close Sledz.....only 200 miles out...lol

So you are Irish...but you don't really know it...its so funny( pleasant...not nasty...) Sledz...to see 2/3/4 th generation Irish who've gone to the USA and for all intentional purposes are Americans......but to us, you've just had an extended vacation.....

Harp is still on the go.......brewed specially for absentee Irishmen....:)

hehehe well said

I tried it but soon switch to the Guiness...... Is the river liffey really polluted?


It tastes good here but I noticed a big difference in Irleand :)


I love it when I go there!!
Always had a good timeand met some really good people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

great to hear :)

Well.......same happens me when I go to Poland.....

Never been to the states Sledz......and probably never will......c'est la vie as they say in downtown LA

yea, Poland is such a great country and Highly undervalued i think

It will become a huge economic entity within the EU in a decade!

I wager a pint of WarkA or Piast, your choice!

Youre not really missing that much... Irleand has plenty of everything

Its kind of the same but with different people.

I have to admit the Emerald Isle has to be one of the most beautiful places
I`ve ever seen..:) :) :) :)
