No. I mean English English. You try telling a Scot that English is the same thing as Scots! You are, however, slightly confused. ;-) England, Great Britain and United Kingdom are all different things. You mention UK and GB as though they are the same thing as each other and as England!! And there is no such thing as UK English. Glaswegians and those from Belfast are both equally incomprehensible to me. The United Kingdom is a political entity and comprises four nations. Hence the term "United" in the name. The geographical entity of Great Britain houses three nations, the English, the Welsh and the Scots. The countries are respectively called England, Wales and Scotland. The fourth member of the united Kingdom, Northern Ireland, is not in Great Britain. It is on the island of Ireland.
