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?

Since you're the expert on Iraqi living conditions, why don't you post the information you so obviously have that the rest of us don't?
Oh, and that info you have wouldn't happen to be before Iraq's glorious and righteous war against Iran, or it's glorious and righteous invasion of Kuwait, would it?
And then please tell it to the gassed Kurds and the gassed Shiites. I'd like to see the survivors' reactions.

I'll bring up the Iraqi woman that I met in Marysville. She said life sucked, because for the decade prior to Bush the First the Iranians had been attacking. I will ask her, or her kids, one of which was eight and may remember the Post-Bush the First era, to post here....

Well, since she was getting bombed I would also think that it was the later part of the war....
