I'm not sure what the big deal is. There was a letter in one of the magazines this month on this exact same subject.
I understand the tradition/history etc but it's not really worth getting excited if someone calls it the British Open.
It's a little bit 'Peter Alliss' to kick up a fuss.

Never has a problem with the term 'The British Open', do find it slightly tedious when people from this country get bothered about that.

Stepping up the pedantic plate - you are quite right, my right honourable friend, he is from Northern Ireland, so he comes from the UK.
He would only be British if he came from England, Wales or Scotland.

Is the right answer.
Anyway, I got a ticket for Thursday. Anyone got any useful tips about stuff to take, clothing, golf shoes, food?

Clothing - it can be cold there if the wind gets up, rain is an obvious one
Shoes - I always wear golf shoes as the mounds can be slippery whether or not its wet
Food - loads of food places that are not cheap but then why would you want to cart a lunch and drinks round all day?
Great venue and atmosphere and I am sure you will love it!
I am planning to go Monday and Tuesday and might go Sunday
