Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I consider myself British, that's what I identify myself as. But my roots go back to Ireland which I would never deny. If my paternal grandma was welsh , my maternal grandma was Irish and both of my grandfathers were English what does that make me ? I was born in England but does that make me English ???? By Blood you'd be Half English, quarter Welsh quarter Irish. You are what you feel you are IMO. If you've been born and bred in England and you're half English by blood anyway, and you feel English then that's what you are. Just because you say you are one, it don't mean to say you hate the others or anything like that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm half Irish by blood and I love going to Ireland but I was born and bred in England so that's what I'd class myself as. I married a Welsh lass, once upon a time..... Big mistake but that was down to her as a person (and me too...) but I've never blamed it on her Welshness... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do you think I married a Jock..? has she still got the scots accent malt? Only when she's pissed off with me or pissed pal... She's still got a very mild Aberdeen accent, but sometimes she sounds more Welsh than I do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
