The vote came and went, so yes, you are correct ;-)
Because here when we say English, we are meaning English Can vs French Can. so we tend to say Brits when speaking of people from England, but yes, as my sister says to me whenever I say she lives in England, she corrects me and says, No, I live in Wales......
re accents, its the same here in Canada. Plonk me down in a small fishing village in middle of fricken nowhere Newfoundland in a room of old fishermen and I'll most likely be as clueless as to what is being said if I were in Russia (maybe not quite, but close....).
