Ok, to make what im asking easier im going to use me as an example:p I was born in Wales, and both my parents are welsh, so im welsh right? But I have been in england for 11 years. A person i know told me that that means im now english. This isnt true is it? Id certainly hope not! Answers maybe? please?
(Sorry im not sure if this is where i should put this, but i doubt id get much response in Anything Goes)

ive lost that, ages ago. So you cant tel by hearing me.
Then id still think you were Welsh because you were born there.
Take a friend of mine she is English but she now lives in Germany, but she is still English isnt she ? she has been out there for quite a few years, although I have totally lost contact with her now
I was born in England, but have lived 19 years in Wales and speak a little Welsh, so I call myself Welsh.
Well personally i beleive im always going to be Welsh. Just my english freinds seem to think different. (Though the girl who said im techincally english is Half Irish/Half Ukranian and sees herself as english, i think)
Though I know where you're from.
Dad Polish, mom Israeli, I was born in Denmark and have lived here all my life. But I do not look Danish, andI'll always get asked where I am from, and what I am. Which is a hard question to answer as I have no clue myself.
So i was right then :hyper:
I see similarities with myself, almost.
My parents are Jamaican, I was born in England. I have always been asked the same questions and used to be a bit confused over my identity.
The way I see it, is that I am English, you are Danish. If anybody has an issue with that its there problem. I am comfortable now with who I am.
When I'm travelling, the passport I use depends on which one the country I am travelling to is friendlier towards!!
I am fortunate that the two countries are culturally similar and I don't have much of an accent, it is quite easy for me.....
That must really suck
You can get a passport if your domiciled in a different country but you still belong to the country of your birth (apart from in circumstanced)
.... *trots of to the gov website to read up on domiciled law*
