I think it's a pride thing, I know when filling forms here in Germany & when renewing a Passport, I will put Brit/English, it defines me as opposed to my JocK mate he'll put Brit/Scottish, all nationals within UK tend to accept they're British, but their lineage is also important to them hence the quantification. Don't see as it hurts anyone so long as the British aspect comes first.
I mean you call a Jock/Taffy or Paddy English & see the response it elicits, you'd be pretty miffed if someone classed you as something you're not.
