Well I tell you what. When my parents came here in the 60s, and the old bill were kicking the crap out of my dad, I don't think he would be helped if he reminded John Bull that Ireland is part of the British Isles. When my mum wasn't allowed to use the bath on her wedding day, because she was considered dirty, I don't think it would have helped either. I know well about the British Isles, and you know well what is meant when we say 'British pipes'. I couldn't care less that someone calls a Peterson a 'British pipe', but letsbe clear about it, it's not what it is.
