I have to say (I stayed out of the earlier discussion) that I _personally_ find 
"Brits" offensive.  I may be in a minority of one on this ...
 
I spent seven years working in Germany.  My wife and I are both English, and so 
we attracted the attention of local expatriate groups such as "The British 
Women's Club of the Taunus" (otherwise known as "The German Husbands' Club").
 
I found that there are two type of expatriates - those who fully accept and 
adapt to the culture they're in, and those who spend every waking moment 
criticising their hosts and their ways.  The latter group got right up my nose, 
as we say, and their perpetual characterisation of themselves as "Brits" gave 
me a lifelong disdain for the term.
