What nationality are people on here? Go with what you consider yourself as. I am trying to see what areas of the UK etc. people come from which is why I have not put a 'British' option. Appologies to IOM, Shetland etc.

I get the feeling there are quite a lot of overseas people and a disproportionate number of Scots.

I am sure this has been done before but it must have been some time ago.

Hi

Think I would describe myself as of UK origin! Anything other than that is just too political for something I am fairly apathetical about.

By desent I am Irish, English and Scots, and I have lived in Ireland and England (but never Scotland).

All the best

Keith

English - although I firmly believe in the concept of being British - it seems to be the people from the little gaelic provinces that get up tight about nationality Wink

That said, as people can probably tell from my huge nose and weak chin, I'm half irish by blood.
