I can’t begin to describe the anguish caused by hearing us British people being referred to by the abbreviated word Brits. But nobody tells the perpetrators off.
I don't think Scots are too fussed about being called Scots. They might take some mild offence at being labelled useless,minging,attention seeking,skirt wearing ****houses but I'm sure it's not aimed at them in any sort of bigoted way...

I'm married to one and Fathered 4 and they've never took umbrage at being called Scotch? It is old hat though nowadays,as Scotch is best used to describe an alcoholic beverage.
yes, that's usually their counter argument. i am fractionally scotch myself, and it's not a large fraction. not even as large as the small fraction that's lancastrian.
Not forgetting the highly salubrious Blackbird Leys area ... The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
