No I am suggesting that quite a few foreigners would not think of them as English accents. I have been asked if i was a number of nationalities ie Welsh, Scottish, English even Canadian. A ****e Irish accent like Brad Pitt's in the Devils own I bet. Sorry to inform you but I wasn't. I will. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/b...ishcitizenship/borninukorqualifyingterritory/ If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 If you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983, you are a British citizen if at the time of your birth one of your parents was: - a British citizen; or - legally settled in the UK. No pretending needed
Incorrect on two counts Med Dog. Paddy Med Dog is like the Ghurkas and Michael Flatley. He's entitled to citizenship.
It must grate on Medro that there are teenaged asylum seekers that have been in Britain longer than him
Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth. Before 1983, birth in the UK was sufficient in itself to confer British nationality irrespective of the status of parents, with an exception only for children of diplomats and enemy aliens. This exception did not apply to most visiting forces, so, in general, children born in the UK before 1983 to visiting military personnel (e.g. US forces stationed in the UK) are British citizens by birth. please log in to view this image Me and my fellow Brit BillyBoy
Because some shamed squeaky voice ex squaddie says so or because the cockney wannabe Irish bloke said so or because the Frank Spencer of not606 said so.

Here endeth the thread ... please.
It's because you were born and bred in Ireland. Don't take it badly, we appreciate your fascination with us
Pud, Pud, Pud. I know that, you know that, we all know that. The silly Irishman is too insecure to subscribe to that. He chose to be British. To reject any notion of his Irishness is comical and it is fun that he finds it so difficult to come to terms with it.
