And don't tick "White" either, Dizzi. Ask for a Dulux chart from Snow White to Black and pick shade that is closest. I am a gentle light brown in winter and a flaming and angry redskin most of summer months. |

Tick the box Dizzi and then cross out "British" and write over the top English, you have as much right to be English and proud of it as the scots and welsh are proud of their nationalities. |

I was only covering those born in "Britain", NOT those born in other countries, of British parents. |

I cannot deny in Wales there are huge regional differences. If you live in any of the 20 odd counties, you will probably be different to those who live in other counties or county boroughs. Probably same in Scotland between Lowlanders, Highlanders and the Midlands bit where most Scots live. |

I think people need to have more to worry about! . I think it's very sad and a bit small minded that people feel the need to cross out British and write whatever else on forms...I should have so little on my mind. |

As an English person, when I go to Scotland or Wales, they're quick to point out the bleedin' obvious! |

Those of us from the Home Counties have been brain washed to believe that we should consider ourselves British – we don’t have a positive strong national or local identify. |
