You are confusing British with English, we are all very proud of being British but we have our nationalities.
No I don't think you read my post properly. I know the difference between English and British. I said if the Welsh, Scottish and I'll include the English (and Northern Irish) here are so proud of being British whey don't they just have a British football team?
They are obviously proud of their separate ethnicities don't you think? I remember reading that there were runctions when it was suggested that their be only one British team for the Olympics. The only time there is one team from all the British Isles (the British Isles include Ireland) is the British and Irish Lions team.
Is sunburn mostly something that only inflicts people from Scandinavia and the UK/Ireland? Or do southern and central Europeans burn too?
Yes southern Europeans sunburn as well, in fact doctors always say we have to use high sun protection. Redness and stinging are usual summer routines.
I have heard that black people (real black from Africa) sunburnt as well, black colour atracts sunlight better and even having more melanine the skin suffers the sun consequences.

Most people consider themselves Scottish/Welsh/English first and British second. It doesn't mean they aren't proud to be British. Being proud of being Scottish/Welsh/English and British isn't mutually exclusive.

They do my sisters friend is mixed race and she burns alot.
You mean they are different nationalities. They are the same people. It doesn't stop at the border.
Yes of course they are different nationalities Scottish is a nationality, English is a nationality etc. I think you are talking about genetic makeup. They are all quite similar yes.

I never said they weren't I just said that they are different and not the same otherwise they wouldn't have their separate nationalities.

I always get sunburned the first day of sun exposure at the poll in early summer.
