now il get to the bit that got me into a debate with a packystarney about my oregian,

 

on the form it said british white with a code,and he said to me that is the one you are,

 

i said i dont think so matey,im english and he said that is what that mean's,and i said it it f**k,

 

and he said what do you mean i said my old man could have been polish and i could have been borne here that would make me white british,but would not make me english,

 

so it carry's on and on so in the box were i had to put this code i put

 

ENGLISH

and he said i cant do this,and said he is british to which my answer was just because you were borne does no make you one of us,

 

every-body in the room about 15 bloke's and a supervisor just busted who is italin also agreed with me

[Trevmk3]

When we have them, mine & Michelles kids are going to be confused!

 

I'm English, she's Scottish, My Mum was born in Wales, my Dad's a Salford boy, we can trace our ancestors back to William the Conqueror, both Michelles parents are Scottish but Michelles descendant is Irish going by her surname!

[richie_stix]

at the end of the day... 'tracing' your ancestors back far enough and we all end up in africa... so none of us are english!

[Trevmk3]

dont know where my family descended from

[Copey]

my family traces back to ireland and america

[pauline]

cant trace my family and dont realy want to

 

i allways put english but i dont allways answer that part on forms sometimes to see what is said

[accord83]

Judging by some of my relatives, our family tree had a section without branches

My old man says the only relations worth 'avin are sexual ones

[mk1super]

yeah man, proud to be ENGLISH not british... (sorry scots, welsh and northern irish)....

 

S'ok son wul jist stick the heed on yi later ken

 

Seriously!!! You be what you wanna be mate am from north of the border and it didnt offend me at all.

[bmxdave]

I think its good to have a sense of nationalism.

 

You can be Scottish Walsh or Irish but there doesnt seem to be many English choices, its normally british. We are all british, but im English. Its like calling north, usa and south america just america no matter which part your from. Brazil isnt Alaska, London isnt Aberdeen.

 

One side of may family traces back to scotland and supposedly to a proper scottish family. Another eventually goes to Ireland, whilst the other is completely engish as far back as the 1700's, where there may be some French or German. Im still english though because my roots go way back. Im sorry, and i dont mean to offend, but being born here doesnt mean your british. You can be british with history, but if you family goes back to asia or such places your not really from this way. When your familys lived here for hundreds of years and is completely integrated with society then your a true brit. Unfortunely the more recent immigrants dont seem to understand our culture 100%

 

Dont mean to be offensive, its just an opinion afterall.

[mk1super]

London isnt Aberdeen.

 

Thank god for that as Aberdeen sucks

[bmxdave]

I dont see why people get so upset about it anyway. Ive seen it before many a time. Anyone care to explain?
