Are you an American or a Brit?

No no, the new sig is for the benefit of Radical Dreamer, apparently my old one was making him have to scroll horizontally on threads - amazing what a super expensive video card will do for your forum browsing experience :p

So, to recap:
You are an Englishman
Living in England
In the British Isles
Part of the UK

Correct so far?

Brits are English subjects
They live in the British Isles
Or in the English colonies

So:
Canadians are not Brits
Austrailians, until recently were Brits
India Indians are still Brits.

Am I close???

Close enough. All I know is that they are not good enough to be American, so it does not matter. :thumbs:

I'm 31/32 American (ie. English, Swedish, Irish & German) and 1/32nd Cherokee Indian. Cherokees are a SEPARATE NATION.

Therefore I am Bi-National....:D

doesnt the flag give it away?

Guess I'd better do something about "Other" being at 0%, so now I'm 2.83% of the Windrivers posters...

Aussie, of course - English background several generations ago.

You rang ? :D

All this 'Britishness' is indeed a quandry .. the British Isles are England, Scotland, Wales & Ireland (all of it !) - so to be 'British' means you could be Irish, Scottish, Welsh or English & this is a 'historical term' from when 'we' (the English) ruled the whole lot ..

The correct term for anyone in what might now be considered 'modern Britain' is UK Citizen, which of course confus-ing-ly, is a different place from 'Britain' ( so this ones Uk mainland & Northern Ireland & the channel Islands & the Scilly Isles).

All this 'empire' stuff then complicates matters even further over whether you are entitled to be considered a 'Uk citizen' as the original definition included 'all her majesties Crown colonies' ( it might btw have been 'his majesties' at the time, but I couldn't be arsed looking all the dates up !) - so this is where the 'I was born in India so that makes me a Uk citizen' line comes from as before the 50s it was a 'crown colony' & any citizen of that was by default also a citizen of the Uk ..

The folks in the Falklands & Gibralta are the ones I feel sorry for out of all of this 'mess' they still live in 'crown colonies' but get no stinking rights .. though we did manage a war for the Falklanders, though 'really' that's another one 'all about oil' :eek2: ;)
