I hope not as this has always been something that's fascinated me.

Muslims generally call themselves British and not English.

Reading the media they may refer to an English actress as being British. If that actress is black then then more often she's British. Unless she's Scottish, then she's referred to being a Scottish actress.

Same with singers and other celebrities. Mainly referred to as being British and not English.

I accept this some English are referred to being English but this can be because they are quintessentialy English.

Ian Wright would be described as being an English Footballer and not a British Footballer. Only because he played for England.
