Help please? Brit pick...

I have a question for any Brits on my flist. And *please* excuse my ignorance. I'm embarrassed that I have to ask about this!

How do you refer to yourself, are you English or British? What's the key difference? How would Draco Malfoy refer to himself?

I started to Google around to see what I could find, but I'd rather hear what real live people have to say. :-) Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. :-)

You should check out [livejournal.com profile] hp_britglish. I couldn't find an answer to your question with a quick perusal of the memories, but the folks there are generally quick to answer any question posed :)

Thanks, babe! I've bookmarked the site. Have you ever posted anything there? Did you feel like a goober when you did?

I haven't posted there because I haven't actually written anything in HP that I needed help with, but I read it for quite some time because I'm interested in cultural/language differences, etc. I got the feeling there were "no dumb questions," except those that'd been asked a million times. Take a good perusal through the memories first and if you can't find a reference, ask away!
