As an American, I have been totally impressed with Churchill's use of the English language. I have begun reading his History of the English Speaking People. In the early part of the work, he makes a distinction between English and British people in the period prior to the Viking invasion. Can someone explain to me the difference he has in mind. Does English refer to Saxons and British refer to the tribes in the North of the Island. At the time in question, the Romans had withdrawn so it does not seem that British refers to Romans living on the Island.
