Nations Favourite. Why we always embarass ourselves

Interesting link, highlighting the new programme of the nations favourite cities for music. Yet again we include Ireland as part of Britain/UK. Why do we always do this. It's so feeble. No wonder other countries mock our arrogance

But it doesn't actually say it's including Dublin as part of the UK, just that it is a favourite musical city of people *from* the UK. Different thing.

these are quoted from the link:

"this countdown will present the creative case for the UK�s top 8 cities."

"VH1 sets to work discovering the brightest creative hotspot in Britain."

I rest my case

i don't think so, considering it says "VH1 sets to work discovering the brightest creative hotspot in Britain." iT could only be more embarassing if they changed it to British Isles, the usual tactic for our media outlets when they want to claim anything Irish. Re: BBC's Top 100 people of all time. The point is, we need to move on into the future and appreciate our own treasures
