Does that make her Basque as she was born there and lived there or is she Andaluz because her parents are ?

Are you Iranian because you were born there or are you say English because your mother may have been or are you Scottish because your father may have been ?

My family are a mix of Scottish and Lancastrian, with no end of mixes included, the only no mongrel part being the Scottish, and we have protestant, catholic and Jewish just adding to the confusion.

Do I think I am Iranian? No, it was a comment to something you said about your wife Lee.


As I have always said, Iranian by the grace of birth, British by the grace of god.

Thats where Spanish culture differs slightly, very few Basque born, Catalan born, Galicians would admit to being Spanish.

Never call a person from Bilbao and named Aitor Spanish.

You talk like I have never been to Spain.................how sweet that you think you are the font of all Spanish knowledge.



They are idiots and we both know that, they are Spanish, Europe classes them as Spanish and the sooner the ingrates accept it the sooner the country moves on.
