Sounds like the name of a Surbiton band from the '70s.

I consider myself English/an Englishman, but consider anyone who chooses or otherwise lives here, English. I don't see why nationalities need be mutually exclusive though. If someone wants to be eg Chinese and English, why not?

I always think of myself as a citizen of the world......if pushed, I would say that I am European.........but never ever an Englishman.

Same here. Yorkshireman first, European second.

Londoner first, rest is just fluff.

"deep"? As a puddle.

Whilst on honeymoon in the USA last year I would tell people I was from the UK, only to be met with blank looks. So much for the special relationship, they had absolutely no idea what or where the United Kingdom is. Eventually I gave up and started saying England, which they could just about recognise as a European country somewhere in the vicinity of Scotland and Ireland. Not sure if they'd heard of Wales...

Bill Bryson describes being asked by a receptionist where he's from, and when he says 'Britain' she tells him he speaks real good English, for a foreigner.
