Never called the fruit brambles in my life. being intrigued I went to www.dict.org (no access to OED unfortunately) and the definition said "Any plant of the genus Rubus, including the raspberry and blackberry." so that implies that you're totally wrong (in that brambles aren't just blackberries). Of course that might not be a great definition so I'll wait for a decent OED one before going on. It does kind of agree with what I thought though that brambles are just spiky git plants. )
