British or..?

[Neversoft]

Aha, I saw a topic asking the exact same question on the discussion boards for This is England on IMDb a few months ago. I've never really thought about it myself, but if a foreigner were to ask me my nationality I would usually tell them I am English. I have no problem with labelling myself as British, but the term just seems too vague these days as there are a lot of foreigners and people from other ethnicities who come over and call themselves British and of course the UK consists of not only England, but Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well, so I like to use English as it is more specific and right to me personally.

I thought this was quite interesting;

In their 2004 Annual Population Survey, the Office of National Statistics compared the ethnic identities of British people with their perceived national identity. They found that while 58% of white people described their nationality as "English", the vast majority of non-white people called themselves "British".

Just English really, never British. :L

[Mikey]

I consider myself mainly as Scottish.

[Catzsy]

I am British.

[Conservative,]

I consider myself English & French. Unless Andy Murray actually wins something (OMG NO WAY !) In which case British...but anyway...

I have blood connections with Ireland & Scotland but I don't really see myself as either, I prefer to think of myself as English because I was born there, that's where I've lived my whole life and that's how it looks like I'm staying.

French - because my family originated from there, I go there a lot for holidays, we have a holiday home there and all that, so I have a greater connection with there.

I hadn't really thought about if before - but English, because my family had proper olde English roots, basically noone from as far back as we can trace doesnt come from England (yeah, not even britain)

[JACKTARD]

I'd say I consider myself to be British, (I'm English)

Probably because Great Britain sounds better than England
