Although technically right, "Briton" does usually include someone from Northern Ireland as well. Yes, I know that technically the name is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", but in 99% of cases, Great Britain and the UK are interchangable terms.
This doesn't stop you from being a bit silly for not being able to figure the term out Andy-boy. I want an essay on sillyness on my desk first thing tomorrow. And one on postscript writing too.

"...and at least 10 "Britons" - it had on Sky News - that's English or UK people?"

Yeah thanks for that pound of sarcasm TSN. Sheesh. I fucking knew you're patronising definition. Traditionally Britons were a Celtic people living in roughly the area now known as England. Of course they didn't mean them - but I though they could have still ment solely 'English' and not necessarily any others from Wales, Scotland, Isle of Man, Jersy, Guernsey etc. etc.

FO2, I suggest you do some research and look at the living standards of Iraqi's before America began its glorious & righteous war. They were actually quite good. Though I'm sure you'll find some source or the other that says otherwise.

Out of a sense of curiousity and dread, were they mainly staffed by people of Indian or Pakistani decent?
