Not on official official documents of course but in your mind where do you place yourself and in what order?
I think of myself a EuroEnglishFrench person.

Live in Cornwall but can't say Cornish as not born/bred here.
Born and bred in Derbyshire and still love the county.

Your welcome MacCornforth. No need to polish a sporran though as it’s a man thing, worn with the kilt. Just practise saying ‘Och’. ?

A Yorkshire lass then English, British, European. If Scotland is going to become independent I'd like Yorkshire to become part of Scotland. I'd happily be Yorkshire, Scottish, European.

English, Yorkshire bred, but Derbyshire born and raised, yet the strong desire to return to Yorkshire frequently has stayed with me all my life.

Bellanonna Mon 21-Sept-20 10:07:09

If I’m abroad, and I’m asked, my reply would be “English”. Currently not overly proud to be.
