OK, I admit it, I'm hopeless at kings and queens.

But dammit "English" isn't my nationality, "British" is my nationality! We're one nation, not several.

I agree re the nationality.

Today, maybe. Historically, less so. My knowledge of pre-James I and VI Scottish monarchs is rather hazy, and it would be interesting to know what Scottish attitudes are to them and pre-James I and VI English monarchs. Then again, the Welsh situation is rather more similar to the English one than the Scottish one, and I'd be hard pressed to say what the Northern Irish situation is.

Hmmm, maybe I should have just separated out those four, rather than lumping all non-English British together... After all, I did treat Irish and American as interesting special cases.

My dad's Northern Irish, of Scottish extraction. My mum's mostly English, with Welsh ancestors too. You could call me English because I was born and have lived here all my life, and have one parent for whom the same is true, but that doesn't in the *least* help historically, does it?
