And again, Ken and Jenny quite happily use 英国人 lazily and ignorantly for English

An hour into ChinesePod and the ignorance has put me off it completely.

If you can't be bothered using 'British' and offending Scottish,Welsh and Northern Irish people I won't be extending my stay.

I'm Scottish and I don't want to seem over sensitive but I did feel quite offended by the use of 英国 for England. Now I realise Britain and England are wrongly used in many countries as the same word however seeing as one of the speakers is from Ireland that should have been known and I feel 英格兰 for England or British for 英国人could have easily been used to avoid offending someone.

With Ken and Jenny completely relaxed with using 英国 with England it comes across as extremely lazy and ignorant.
