Well, I didn't mention it at the time as it didn't seem relevant but the
garage was an independant owned and run by Asians. Come to think of it,
'Brit' is probably still correct. When I was a lad my Mum used to tell me
"If ever anyone asks you what nationality you are, don't say 'British', say
'English'". However, I was born in the legal entity of 'England and Wales',
which together with Scotland makes up Great Britain, and with Northern
Ireland makes the United Kingdom. Methinks our civil servants didn't have
enough real work to do.
