i am english, not british, any forms ask if im british they get scrubbed out and replaced with english.  :)
Same here :y

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Made in Taiwan



I always state on forms that i am english!
I  think the place you were born decides your nationality, therefore i am english and my boys are welsh!

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a nation.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are countries within that nation.

Your 'nationality' is therefore British, not that of the home country from which you originate.....

Strictly speaking, its a Republic - so I guess, yes.  I assume you're talking about Eire..

Just hit Wikipedia to confirm what I thought - the big island most of us are on is Great Britain (England, Scotland and its islands, Wales) and the UK includes NI as well...

No Albitz, Southern Ireland is the Republic; Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, and very much a loyalist state, hence the battle's of the 1968 to 1999 period. ;)

STOP PRESS : Sorry Albitz!  Just realized that is actually what you meant! ;)
