English or British

[Sysman]

I always put British on official paperwork.

In conversation If I say I'm English I usually get the "Do you come from London?" treatment, so I avoid it there as well.

'ere, where's the or option then?

This is speciesist.

Nationality is different from species. I thought you were a Welsh lizard.

I just read Milliband has started to answer the English problem, that being most people from England now consider themselves English rather than British. ...

Haven't read the article, but I suspect he is really somehow trying to answer the Scottish problem, which for him is why Scots are turning away from Labour.

Irish. Born in England, lived in England. But consider myself Irish. Never use my British passport, always use my Irish one. My accent is English, but I'm very much Irish.

Pass the Jameson please.

Nation states are all ancient history and an irrelevance in modern times; you're all European now!
just checking to see if someone takes this seriously

[Lockhouse]

British. Anything else is a Socialist plot!

European!

[Old Greg]

I don't really get this. I don't identify more with a Geordie or Bristolian than I do with someone from Ireland, Australia or Canada. I guess culturally I consider myself Anglophonic.

[Platypus]

Depends who I'm talking to.

Where are you from = England

To an American I'd normally describe myself as British
To a European I'd normally describe myself as English
To another Englishman, definitely English

I'm context sensitive
