I think I have decided to be Irish after all I have been to Dublin my son lived in Ireland for 2 years whilst he served in the Army ( British) , on my Dads side his grandmother was Irish but actually she wasnt she was born in Manchester to Irish born parents, My Mother's Dad parents also born Co Mayo so yep I think today I shall be Irish ohh what a hoot our friends and neighbours will have as I gaily wave and shout out greetings in the morning

" Ta'p of miourning to ya " translated: Goodmorning do have a jolly lovely day now ;-)

Or should I be Scottish I have always found a warm Welcome in the Glenside so I have, always lovely chatty interesting people when I visit Scotland and they don't revert in to talking in a different tongue when I enter their pubs and shops , I go at least 2 or 3 times a year so that should warrent me enough to say I am Scottish ;-)



Now I love the Carribean yer dont think I could get away with....nahhh me neither :-D

Hayley :-D :-D I just wish your Irish great grandma had been told by you that she was English because she was born in Manchester. Oh, your botty would have been red :-D David Lloyd-George was born in Manchester and would be English after your definition. Yet everything I have read about his life suggests that he claimed he was Jamaican ;-)

Kay. Keep up. Have already said that I totally accept I am English and have booked an op tomorrow to reverse 66 years of Welshness so that I can sing "swing Low sweet something or other" as I cheer my boys in white home to victory at the Millenium on 16th March. Oh, sheer joy. Can't wait for them to give the orrible Welsh a good bashing. Come on, England :-D :-D :-D Much bigger thighs.

And I will try to make sure that any of my English friends who were born in England but think they are Welsh (those who are members of London Welsh, for example) take all their red off, put white on (is that right?) and cheer the English boys on with me. :-D

Thank goodness for that John you are Englsh , as you had me worried that you had entered Wales as an interloper on a false passport......... :-D.

Must make you feel awful when the English get bashed for overtaking Wales........ :-0

Brenda :-D :-D When my mum was a little girl, she wrote her address in her school exercise books as Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay, Denbighshire, Wales, United Kingdom, Europe, World.

She was always very proud to be Welsh. And the Welsh have done so much more for world harmony than their close neighbours. In fact, I cannot think of any time in the whole history of Wales when they have not won friends and influenced people - even in far-flung places like Argentina, Canada, USA and Australia.

And it just comes so naturally to this Welshman to win friends and influence people :-D :-D

I just want to witness the bravery of the person who tells Dan that, despite having two English parents, he is Welsh because he was born in the abomination that was Wrexham hospital's maternity ward :-0

Good luck with that one! ;-) You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it say Dwr Cymru :-D

Rose. I was thinking of Ian Hislop. He was born in Wales and lived in all parts of the world and seemed to favour his Scottish roots on WDYTYA. Merton teases him about being Welsh exactly same as Hayley (from Barbados) and Kay (from Somalia) tease me about being English.

And you can see Hislop's hackles rise, just like mine :-D ;-) And Dan's, no doubt.

ROFLMAO @ our Rose and Dan :-D :-D

Sorry MrDaff your thighs ain't big enough besides you are on the opposite side of the stadium :-P

Judging by the above comments does that mean if we have visited somewhere we can adopt that nationality? Or because son and heir has dual nationality on his passports I can be adopted by the Guate?

In that case I'll be an Australian Guatemalan, can you tell? :-D :-D :-D

Bugger, I'll just have to be English then.
