English Not British
I refer to “Dublin Remains the Capital of Gab,” June 7, by Beverly Beyer and Ed Rabey.
It states, “The Irish and Scots, unlike the British, really know how to make breads. . . .”
For their information, “British” means England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales (i.e., the United Kingdom). The sentence should no doubt have read, “ . . . unlike the English . . . .”
I cannot but add, as one who has lived for years in both nations, the worst bread I’ve eaten in England was far superior to the best bread in the U.S.
