    I'd say British. But I have to admit given the recent rumblings from the wildlings north or the wall, I'm starting to feel a little more English.

    However I think patriotism is for nutters. I happen to be 6 foot tall, but I don't feel any kind of loyalty or affinity to others who also happen to be 6 feet tall. And I'd say the same about people who happen to have been born in the same area of the planet that I was.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Aren't we all European anyway?

            If asked, or assumption made that I'm English, I'll say I'm Scottish. Otherwise I'm British.

              I'm English, not British.

                  I think that's an Anglophone thing. In fact, the world could be very simply divided into those who eat proper breakfasts and those who don't. Eggs, bacon, sausages, porridge, pancakes; good. Croissants, cheese, jam, ham, cereal; woofty poofty.
