Definately English,although my ancestors came from Scotland originally. xxx

I had this discussion with my Mum the other week and with it being St Patrick's Day we are discussing this at work. My Mum considers herself as English and not British. She as been born in England and for about 3 generations back on both sides she is English. In our household we consider ourselves as a British mix as my hubby's father is Scottish but his mother is English but he has Irish and Maltese ancestors as well. I call my son my little Scottish Malteser which he loves obviously any chocolate association works for him. What about you?

Welsh, as I was born in Wales. M.

Tough one. Have dual nationality (Greek/British). Feel a natural affiliation with Greece but am of British/English blood.

Scottish! With a little Irish and English mixed in but thats a couple of generations back so it doesnt really play a big part in what nationality i class myself in today. My dad says i'm brittish though because thats what it says on my passport. Mhairi

Definately ENGLISH,fathers side from Devon-Cornwall,mothers side from Gloucestershire Steve from Somerset

English - 15 generations to prove it too!! xx

A mongrel - part English, part Irish, part Welsh, part Cheshire and part Yorkshire - well they consider themselves THE BEST. I should know - I married one.

To me where you were born is your nationality. So I'm English, then British.

See what I mean about Yorkshire?????

English, born in London as was my dad grew up in Essex!! all my dads family were born in London except his dad my grandfather he was born in Naples, Italy. My mums family were all from up north, Nottingham,Yorkshire, northamptonshire, so i am definatly English!! Helenxx

ENGLISH defo. Even though I am not a Londoner, my g gran was and as was her family, and I consider myself to be a London boy as well. I have some French Huguenot ancestry. I also have Suffolk, Yorkshire, Sussex, Essex and Oxon ancestors, and possibly Scottish. If I have Scottish then I probably will find some Irish immigrant blood in me as a lot if Irish went to Scotland. Ben

Quite definitely Scottish. This is despite being born in London and living there till I was 4. Parents moved to Scotland at that point. My father's family is entirely Scottish. My mother's family is entirely English. I am Scottish because it's how I feel about myself. 'Just because a cat has her kittens in the oven does not make them cookies!' William

Im English but a few generations back I have Irish on both sides of my Mums family so seeing its St Patricks day today begorrah lol! Dxx

Welsh - was born and bread in walse and will only ever be Welsh , not British, Not European, Not English!! Just Welsh. And that is despite my matermal grandmother being English with an Irish Father and English Mother (and English back too 1400), Paternal grandparents had 1 English parent each that were English as the day is long... Also have a tiny bit of French and Belgum blood fro 1300's (I didn't work that one out! It's documented on a very old family tree in a book somewhere that a cousin found)

Heinz 57 I suppose. I was born in England but I am a 5th Generation Irish Immigrant and also a 5th Generation French immigrant. Not sure what that makes me. Dianne xx

English, as have been my ancestors since the 1600's.

english right back on both sides to 1500's annie

I'm English. I was born in England, all my father's ancestry is English back to the 1100s, although my Grandma's name is supposed to be of Viking origin. My mother's father was born in Wales of English parents, and her mother was born in Glasgow of an English mother and Scottish father. Whichever way you look at it, English ancestry is most prominent, so I regard myself as English. CB >|<
