Are you British?
 

Well, are you?

Some fascinating comments too.

Re: Are you British?
 

On paperwork and if asked I always say British. My childhood was spent moving with the British Armed Forces and that all seems just fine to me.

We (well, those of actually in the UK at least) live under one (main) government and one passport and being pedantic about which part you are from just seems divisive and of no real benefit.

According to the comments I am like 'pot pourri' with grandparents who were English, Welsh, Russian and Austrian/Polish. :lol:

Re: Are you British?
 

I'm British because Mummy is English and Daddy is Scottish.

I'm English (deep down) but I always say British.

The comments are amazing.

Re: Are you British?
 

I always say I am British if asked, as essentially thats what I am.... I think that generally the English do where as the Scots, Taffs and N Irish are more nationalistic.

History is: mother is English (plus her parents), Father is Scottish (one parent English & t'other Scottish).

I was born in England so if being specific I would be half English and half Scottish, but British will do for me.

Re: Are you British?
 

both parents English, all grandparents English so I count myself as English.

Re: Are you British?
 

I'm 75% Irish, 25% Eastend mongrel ;) . Born & brought up in England, with British passport. Feel English, then Irish. No claims to Welsh or Scottish.

Re: Are you British?
 

I'm English, I was born in the North East, I have no idea who or where my parents are.

Re: Are you British?
 

Yes

Re: Are you British?
 

English rather than British but accept Irish ancestry ( London Irish) on Dad's side but very Anglo Saxon on Mum's side (Ingle in surname and Harrold as well)

That said tick UK box online

Re: Are you British?
 

In the past if you classed yourself as English and waved a St George's flag you were classed as racist, thats very sad to me. I am English first and British second.

Its also sad that most English people have no idea when St George's Day is but love St Patrick's Day.

Re: Are you British?
 

I always celebrate St George's. If working it requires a white shirt and red tie (even though I never wear a tie), regardless of working or not it MUST involve some London Pride or Spitfire or some sort of proper ale.

You're right though, most people don't know when it is. St Paddy's seems to bring out the classic "my Mum's cousin's dog walker once visited Dublin so I'm Irish".

Re: Are you British?
 

Just because a dog was born in a stable, doesnt make it a horse.....or so I am told.

Re: Are you British?
 

Are you British? No

Id class myself as a "world citizen" - not the passports i hold or the country i was born in nor the rugby clubs i support define me

Re: Are you British?
 

Bit of an ironic forum name then eh?

Re: Are you British?
 

But you feel the need to have UK in your username.....
