    not a problem, do your parents have any english ancestors?
    as you know anyone is free to post.
    if you do have ancestors then here's a chance to learn about our customs etc.

    Ah man, havent watched those soaps in literally 9 months or more. Got fed up of them. But I like Emmerdale out of them all though cos it's a cool soap..full of farmers. :p But damn too many affairs with unlikely characters bores the hell out of me. Scones goes so well with Devon Clotted Cream. *is proud to be from Devon* :rolleyes:

    ...England is not British people but english. British is the union of the four countries: Wales, Scotland, Ireland and England and makes every person British by including those countries. But England on its own is not British but English! :cool:

    Proud to be English but not British! Don't know why... :p

    Great thread title btw...I love tea(don't like scones as much)but I have about 3-4 cups a day(sometimes more but usually it's 3).
    So hi to any other english folks around here.

    Ah just made a brew, so I thought I would check in while sipping away..all this talk of scones and clotted ceam, could do with some just now ;)

    I am English (although Gran was Scottish, and Grandad was welsh, so I suppose I'm British technically :lol:)

    Just about to leave Coventry, best thing to do really have been stuck studying here for 3 years, and quite honestly it is not a nice city :rolleyes:

    Main features: A concrete ringroad cum death trap, a really modern cathedral built after other was bombed in the war, and some random bridge cum statue type thing that nobody knows what it is :confused:

    Oh and a lot of car factories that are going bust raising unemployment :(

    Am happy to be leaving, at the end of August I become a Cambridge resident and very excited about it too :cool:

    I am originally from Kidderminster, South West of Birmingham, and my folks still live there!!
    That'll do for now, will come again later to say where else I have lived :rolleyes:
