Do you consider yourself English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh or British?

[DSK-]

I consider myself English (even though I'm not). And damn proud of it, too!

 

[Trebort]

I consider myself both.

Just don't assume by British I mean English or you'll get a Scottish punch to the face(Hint: It involves using my head)

We call it a Wybourn Kiss here ^_^

I'm English, I don't mind being refered to at British, but I am English first and foremost.

I dislike being called European though, I'm in favour of the European Union and all, I just don't like being European.

Also have to agree with this poster:

Gotta admit guys, not a big fan of people who call themselves Irish-American when they're great-grandparents were 1/4 Irish.

The term is 'Plastic paddy' if I'm correct.

I dislike Americans who class themselves as Scottish, Welsh, Irish or English because they have relatives who came from these parts. Your American, live with it!

I've noticed some British people who absolutely loathe being called European. I'm American, so I can't really participate in this thread. I generally identify with all the various localities; though the larger the area covers, the less I identify.

Haha yeah im one of those even though im more european than british [Austrian mother and Scottish/English dad]

OT: I consider myself English, but when i speak to foreigners i say im British:]

I wish i could call my self any of those, i want a cool accent so badly! Alas, i come from the home of the brave and land of the free. We don't get cool accents.
we get annoying ones and mixed ones, if your lucky you get off with a neutral accent, if you not you may get a new jersey accent despite never going to jersey.

lucky pepole with your' cool accents...

Actual New Jersey accents are pretty neutral.

Most people who consider themselves Anything-American are very thoroughly American.

 

[Shiny Rabbit]

I'm 1/4 Irish but I consider myself British.

 

[Rylingo]

Im Irish and i live in one of the "captured 6".

 

[Prof.Wood]

I am English (both parents are English as are the parents of all my family for about 6 generations)
born in England.

 

[dragonslayer32]

I consider myself English, and I am proud of it. Although tracing my family history back, my family got kicked out of Ireland and moved to Scotland and then the clan split up and went to England or America. So, I could be Irish and Scottish too.

 

[geldonyetich]

More than anything else, I'm an American mongrel. But I do sympathize strongly with British common-sense and intellectualism, so perhaps there's a bit of that going on upstairs. Although I expect more of my ancestry is Germanic or French.

 

[Snotnarok]

My ancestors are from mostly northern Europe, I was born and raised in America so I consider myself American. Though I think English accents are awesome.

 

[Amphoteric]

My Dad is Canadian and my Mum is Northern Irish but I would only ever call myself English because that is where I was born for some reason.

I'm English and I would hate if someone called me European. There's a reason we're not in the EU people, it's called independence. (The Americans appreciate that too, I hear

I see myself as English, I'm not sure that Welsh people or Scottish people would rather be considered British, but as (if history it to be believed) the Scottish put up quite a fight to prevent being called British, one would naturally assume that they wouldn't, but I'm sure there are many exceptions.

 

[Jamous]

British English. Although I only consider myself 'Proper' British when going through a Gentlemanly phase.

 

[Soxafloppin]

If your English, Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish you are British.

Kinda like saying do you consider this a Banana, or a fruit?

 

[The Lunatic]

I use "British".

Family history is Scottish however.

We are in the EU. We're not in the Euro, if that's what you meant.

 

[duchaked]

sorry, I'm not from the UK, but I do find this very interesting

I really do wanna visit Europe (before I go to anywhere in Asia again)

 

[thenumberthirteen]

English. I was born and raised there and It's where I feel the most attachment to. I do like Haggis though.

 

[master m99]
