It doesn't surprise me at all.

When the Union was formed, England made many efforts as the larger partner to absolve English nationality more so than Scottish nationality (we'll leave Ireland and Wales out as they're different cases), so that is why the British identity is stronger in England as it was England that sought to prevent alienation to the Scottish Britons. A lot of people don't know for example, but during the Georgian periods and the early Victorian period you'll often see England marked on maps or referred to in books as 'Southern Britain' and Scotland as 'Northern Britain'.

Myself? British first, English a distant second. Although I rather regard being English on the same level as being a Lancastrian for example.

I would say British mainly because that's correct, like when you put it on forms and stuff.

But when I'm on holiday if someone asks where I'm from I say England, but my dad says the UK.

I'm proud to be English, but I'm also proud to be British, so either is good for me
