British and Christian and Proud

[tantrum]

I am British and was born in Stirling.   It is cool being British    .  Britain is a great country, we have achieved so much and have a rich history.  It would be even better if we got rid of the Royal Family, but that is another topic. 



I think I will put my flag back up as my avatar

Yes and you have Lord Carey and Tony B ;nana;lair

well thats a question that doesnt require an answer. nationality and culture are not something that can be defined by a piece of paper which happens to have 'britain' on it. just because the governmental calls the people 'british' doesnt mean people see themselves in that way.

if all the paper in the world was burned today, I would still be left with the essence of myself which is Scottish. no amount of beurocracy would make me and many people think any differently.

feck the uk passport system too.........................................lol

According to Feuerbach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Andreas_Feuerbach), "you are what you eat."

Have you ever eaten any of the following in reasonable quantities?:

Pie and chips with mushy peas;
Deep fried pizza
Deep fried mars bar
Irn Bru
Haggis
Welsh Rarebit
Nirvana roast potatoes
Yorkshire Pudding
Spotted Dick

If you have, I'm afraid the conclusion is inescapable.

Im certainly not blooody british and you can say what you want to argue the fact!

im welsh and in the census, on passport froms, in registration processes if it asks for nationality i put down WELSH!

The only thing i am happy to be grouped in with, is with other celts!

[GlasgowBandit]

thats correct, mosts Scots are not 'british' and I note the Scottish executive are nowing calling themselves the 'scottish government'/ the wind of change is apon us:)

Scottish not British?  You aren't independent...

Im very independant. have been all my life:) hehe

 if you were born in Scotland your British

By that token if your born in a stable does that make youa horse?

I was born in Scotland but would never ever descibe myself as british.

Given that most "British" people (by which i mean those born on the land mass an atlas would label Britain) don't go to church/ synagogue/ mosque etc etc, and given that <generalisation> most Poles </generalisation>  are active Roman Catholics surely the latest immigration from eastern europe has made us more religious.

 you might never describe yourself as British , or Mads case consider yourself to be British , i never say '' im British '' , just because you may not like it doesnt change the FACT , that , if you are Scottish - you are also British . Scotland is part of Great Britain , as is Wales , England and Northern Ireand and wether we like it or not , we are all British.

yeah, well, I think when Carey said 'christians' he actually meant 'anglican'. I don't think Carey is too proud of Britain's catholic heritage.
