Are you 100% British?

Quote by Theladyisaminx
When people say true Brit!
Are there many about?
What is a true Brit?
I am a bit of a mixed breed having English, Italian, Irish, and French in me, and my children have Greek added to that mixture.
Are any of us really 100% true British?
How many generations back do we need to go to be classed as a true Brit?
As I am proud of my ancestor roots and would not like to deny I have a mix in me
It has nothing to do with how far back you go in your family tree. I do think it's hard to label what constitutes a true Brit these day's by normal standards due to human rights and equality rules etc.
In my eye's it should be about the rules and religion we live by and being able to accept other "people and religions".
when i look at google earth and put my postcode in, i see that i am a coventarian, as i move out on my mouse, i find that i am english. as i continue, i see that i am british. low and behold, if i keep moving upward (out), i realise that i am not british but, hold on, yes, european ! you guessed it, if i continue, i find that i am a human being from planet earth, just like everybody else ! did'nt want to do a history dissitation about the plantagenets, saxons, vikings and celts anyway, everyone knows we all came from either side of the nile....
I am 95% cotton and 5% lycra ;-).
Seriously though, my blood is 100% polish but i was always told by my father and grandfather to embrace British culture and mentality. I am 40 now and think British and love where i am with Polish blood running throught my veins.
It kills me to think that there are people living in Britain that want to bring it down ie. terrorism. i think it is a disgrace and shocking.
Peaceful campaigning i can appreciate but terrorism is scary and really bad.

Being British is aboout driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then on the way home grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab, to sit on a Sweedish sofa, and watch USA shows on a Japanese T.V and most of all being suspicious of anything foreign. Oh and ...only in Britian... can you get pizza to your home faster that ambbulance. Only in britain do banks leave there doors open and chain the pens to the counter. Also supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the shop for a prescription, whilst health people get their fags at the front of the shop. We might be British but by f**k we are funny !!

Apparently ........
The human body is composed of:
96.2% of body weight comes from "organic elements" present in many
different forms. DNA, RNA proteins, lipids and sugars are all composed of
primarily O, C, H and N. Also, Water (H2O) and carbon
dioxide (CO2)as well as other small molecules involve these elements.
Oxygen (65.0%)
Carbon (18.5%)
Hydogen (9.5%)
Nitrogen (3.2%)
3.9% of body weight comes from elements present in the form of salts.
Don't be fooled by their minute quantities, they are very important for
the maintenance of homeostasis (meaning "well balanced organism").
Calcium is a major component of bones and teeth. Iron is necessary for
oxygen transport by red blood cells. Sulfur is present in most proteins
and potassium keeps your heart beating smoothly and regularly.
Calcium (1.5%)
Phosphorus (1.0%)
Potassium (0.4%)
Sulfur (0.3%)
Sodium (0.2%
Chlorine (0.2%)
Magnesium (0.1%)
Iodine (0.1%)
Iron (0.1%)
The trace elements compose less than 0.5% of total body weight but then
again, they are essential for homeostasis. Some of these elements are
cofactors of critical enzymes in the body (meaning that without them,
enzyme cannot work at all and that even low concentrations of them can make
the enzyme work very well.)
Chromium (trace)
Cobalt (trace)
Copper (trace)
Fluorine (trace)
Manganese (trace)
Molybdenum (trace)
Selenium (trace)
Tin (trace)
Vanadium (trace)

Depends how historical you wanna get, innit?
Aren't we all a little bit Celt, Roman, Viking, Norman, French, German.... etc etc etc? And that's just if your ancestors always lived within the UK!
If we're talking about recordable ancestry only. My mothers side are from around the Manchester(ish) area. My fathers side are Sicilian.

I've had a little think about this and come to the conclusion that I am........
100% human and a citizen of the world. I feel related to everyone, no matter what colour we are or what country we come from or how long ago it was...so yes I was born in England but I am a mixture of everyone else
If we're talking about immediate relatives though there are in my family...French & English and my children can add swedish, welsh and Irish into that mix too

Is 'British' a reference to racial background - as most respondees here seem to view it, or someone who was born in Britain and is therefore 'British'? I would argue the latter.
Quote by duncanlondon
I think the expression 'true brit' means the character and attitude of the people, and usually in certain circumstances.
Getting into people's geneology could cause a racial debate again.
Just spotted this old thread from before I re-joined the Site.
I think this reply sums it up, the British are so mixed racially, that is has to be a culture thing now.

The human species didn't develop in the UK. The inhabitants of the UK have always been from a variety of non-UK places - apart possibly from the original settlers in the Paleolithic. I'm not sure even the most ardent "we were here first" can demonstrate an unbroken line to back then. LOL
For me the only qualification for being a True Brit (as opposed to British National which is a legal construct) is joining in and contributing to society. However that is done: taxes, voluntary activities, creative things like art - the list is almost endless. I've got far more warm feeling for a person on benefits who volunteers at the local youth club or homeless shelter than I have for the highest paid executive who pays an accountant to avoid paying taxes.
The geneology thing is meaningless when you have to take into account adoption, adultery and step-families. Buggers the whole blood-line thing up.

Simple - answer a few questions !
Were you born in Britain ?
Anywhere else means you have that nationality.
Does it mean 'home' when you're here ?
Are you fiercely proud of being British ?
Yes to them and I guess that makes you British ........
Or (according to an American friend)
To be British means:
1. Drink tea
2. Live in a castle
3. Be gay
I'll make no comments about this - he's American, they're still learning !

2. I'm fiercely proud of being English
3. So this make me English
Having traveled in the states, most know nothing of Great Britain outside London. However i do love the Americans and their country.
P.S. I prefer coffee, i don't live in a castle and i'm straight.
P.P.S. Above all else i'm a Yorkshire man.
P.P.P.S For those sporting souls, its always club before country!!!
You just have to love Americans and their (lack of) history.
Heard on a 747 circling, coming in to land at Heathrow - an American couple talking - "Jeez May, that's Windsor Castle down there" "Oh yeah Wilbur. But you'd think with all that money an' all, her Majesty would have built it in a less built up area, woudn't ya!)

I'm actually with you there too, however last time I went to the US, I stated "English" as my nationality and the jobs-worth dipshit immigration nazi made me go to the back of the queue and fill in a new form !
I'd like to state that my nationality is English, but it seems that it's not internationally recognised any more. (except as a language option by MicroSloth)
