i am english, not british, any forms ask if im british they get scrubbed out and replaced with english. 
Out of interest -- what make a person "english" ( or any other nationality for that matter) ?
Is it their parentage, heritage, genetics or merely the spot on which they were born ??
I was born in england, my father is welsh, the family spent the last 150 years in Wales, the 600 years before that in Cornwall and prior to that france. Can I just put "Confused" on the forms 
That actually applies to most "English" and "British" Holy Count

A large number of us are related to Roman's, the 'Barbarian's; Huns, Franks, Vandals, Visigoths, etc, then Vikings, "modern" French, Germans, Italians, etc, etc. With my family it is Roman, Norman / French, English, and of course, I am proud to say, was born in Malta GC. My daughter's children, my two grandchildren, will add Italian to their list as she married a (gorgous!) Italian, and one was born in the Republic Of Ireland! "Confused" could be a good definition for many of us!
