How British are you?

[deptfordmarmoset]

50% Celtic (Welsh and Irish), 50% Continental (Swiss with a dash of French), 100% European.

 

[Salty seadog]

Essex, me.

'kin 'ell guv.

 

[Drago]

Breton one side, Hungarian Jewish on the other. I still voted out of the EU, which is rather different from voting out of Europe.

 

[ColinJ]

I'm Scottish......not British and definitely not English.

I consider myself Scotlish (or Engtish?)!

I'll go for the dual-nationality option if Scotland gets independence in my lifetime.

My father, having been born in Lancashire of Catholic Irish and Jewish stock, and my mother born a cockney then raised in Newcastle, I feel certain that I am British(ish).

 

[Vapin' Joe]

Good for you. I see myself as being a human being, much the same as I see you. I don't care where you're from, what language you speak, what your religion is, your history, or anything else. All I ask of you is that you are a decent human being.

Obviously not a football fan, then?

 

[NorthernDave]

Yorkshire, by grace of God.

Although my granny was from Ireland, which gives me handy access to an alternative passport if all this Brexit malarkey goes belly up...

 

[gavroche]

Obviously, through me , my son is also French so he is going to get a French passport as well, just in case.

According to AncestryDNA, the British people are only 31% Anglo-Saxon, 22% Irish, 20% French/German and the rest from different European countries. One consolation for Yorkshire people, you are 41% Anglo-Saxon.
So, to those who voted out of Europe, you got it all wrong as you are more European than British.

For everyone disappointed that this wasn't a quiz thread:

I've sat a test and sworn an oath. Doesn't that make me more British than those that happened upon it with no effort?

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I've sat a test

It probably means you know a whole load of more pointless bollocks than some of us.

No, you had to play catch up.

No effort? Have you SEEN what children here have to overcome? I mean, the WiFi coverage in schools is really really poor.

It means you were made to learn loads of pointless dross by someone who hasn't worked out what it means to be British themselves.

I think you mean "have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life. "
