Thats just plain confusing. If you were born in England how did you lose Uk citizenship.? If you werent born in England, how are you English?

I never was a British citizen to begin with. :confused: My family moved to Lebanon when I was a kid. I am English By descent. My dad is British. He was a citizen.

Are you VERY accident prone, or have you not figured out to use the urgent care clinics for access to a doctor for non urgent stuff.

Non-urgent stuff? I'm talking about visiting the emergency for EMERGENCY situations. I've had to sit there for hours when my face & hands were turning blue due to an asthma attack. :mad: I'm actually not dumb enough to visit the emergency when I have a cold or a relatively minor emergency. :confused:

I was going to guess Bahrain.

At any rate, English by descent is a non-legal term - it doesn't confer any actual status. But as a statement of pure fact, the boy's right I suppose. There is no law restricting Englishness by descent...not that it means anything.

My wife, whilst not British by descent - because that is a legal term - is Welsh by descent (albeit by a few centuries). I shall have to tell her. :)
