Sorry to bring this up again, and, yes it's trivial, but Chris actually
means Britain (or the United Kingdom). In this context especially, I don't
think many Scots, Welsh and Irish would think it trivial, just ask Sean
Connery. :- )

N.B. Mainland Europeans are even worse than Americans on conflating
"England" with "Britain".
