British? No, not even close. Been to England? Sure. Dated a few Brits? Sure. Ancestrally, maybe 20% of my lineage is British. At least 75% Irish. The rest, Scottish.
On my father's side, 100% Irish peasant farmers, pretty fresh off the boat. On my mom's side, half Irish, but nearly half British, with a bit of Scottish ancestors thrown in. Not so fresh off the boat, but pretty much all peasants ... failed farmers who left the old world, to fail as farmers in the new world.
So ... not British ... but I could pass for Canadian ... does that count?

British citizen? No, not even close. Been to England? Sure. Dated a few Brits? Sure. Ancestrally, maybe 30% of my lineage is British. At least 60% Irish. The rest, Scottish. On my father's side, 100% Irish peasant farmers, pretty fresh off the boat. On my mom's side, mostly British, but a fair mix of Irish and Scottish ancestors. Not so fresh off the boat, but pretty much all peasants ... failed farmers who left the old world, to fail as farmers in the new world. So ... not British ... but I could pass for Canadian ... does that count? Technically Great Britain is the entire island, including England, Wales and Scotland. So you can add the English and Scottish bits together if we're talking "British"

British? British.. No, English. British is a name we use to smooth relations over the Scots, Welsh and Irish to make them less grumpy over the fact that we conquered them centuries ago and they still haven't got over it. They're better off because of it, but they'll never admit it.

Well, my paternal grandmother traced my ancestry there. I'm descended from Helen, illegitimate daughter of Richard III, making her first cousin of William the Conqueror. Her husband, Hubert(or Hulbert) de la Heuse, took part in the Norman invasion of England, was appointed High Constable and given extensive estates in England by the king. My family line stayed in England for the next 600 years, but lost a great deal in the Great Fire of London in the 1666. After that, we bugged out and went to America. So ancestrally speaking, I'm quite British. But many, if not most, Americans have British blood if they go back far enough. British colony and all that.

I'm pretty sure Geordie isn't an accent but a whole different language.... I've watched a few videos about it. Technically it's a far accent that has kept some aspects of an older English language, not a whole different language.

Even though I've got a southern accent and people can understand me, I've kinda always wished for a northern accent. Just sounds more interesting.

I'm not, like, a British citizen. But my father had a British mother and a Dutch father.
So I'm like, one quarter British?

Yeh, British. Westcountry. Where the only interesting thing on the news is satanic ritualistic horse murders in the moors and people stealing sheep. Sigh. It's much more interesting watching local news in America. When I was in Florida I recall turning the news on everyday just to keep up with the car chase of some bank robbers. Way more interesting.

I'm English, but moved away fairly young but have lived there on and off for years..... I now live in New Zealand. You couldn't pay me to move back there. My accent is a random mix of posh london twit and horrible kiwi twang.

My good friend Kev is a BA; though he doesn't have the accent because he was raised primarily in California his mom does though. Too bad I moved away before I realized the proper (joking) insult to a British person is "limey", I kept calling him "my little lemon" and it makes sense now why they often gave me strange looks. o-o I learned how to properly insult the Brits from my father ^.^ I don't often get to use those skills these days but I maintain them well.
