Would an English person call her or his country England rather than the UK?

Question

I heard that English people travelling abroad prefer to refer to their country as England,not the UK or Britain when asked where they are from.if an English person says I'm from Britain or the UK isn't explaining herself or himself clearly since a Scot,Welsh or an Irish from Northern Ireland are also from the UK or Britain.
