then the OP is singling out only English people should reply to his thread.
this site is BRITISH expats, not English Expats, thats all im saying.

I am Glaswegian.

I am Sgitheanach.

I am Scottish.

I am British.

I am European.

I don't think I am politically British, but a big part of me is most definitely culturally British.

Mark, I don't think you upset anyone.

I'm English, because I was born there and talk with an English accent.

I'm Australian 'cos I've got a passport which proves it.

Don't think so mate.

OK, "officially" British, just like "officially" Scottish people are British.

I can understand why you would feel British though, you say you were born in Spain, I would have thought most immigrants to the UK would consider themselves British and not English/Scottish/Welsh.

yes you are making me angry but I am having a bad day so everyone has the potential to make me angry today. tehnically I could say you weren't british as although you were brought up there you were born in Spain and to me would be Spanish.
