Wales is part of Britian. That would be like saying "Oh, he's a New Yorker? I thought he was American".

Don't most people from Wales consider themselves Welsh rather than British? Or is that just how Scotland and Ireland are?

Ah, yeah, I always get the terms mixed up since there's like three or four terms used to refer to the collective British Isles. I meant to say English.

Sorta different, but more "Oh he's Texan? I thought he was American" because Texans don't want to be American.
