Answer 1

I was born in a hospital. Does that make me a f*cking nurse?

Answer 2

I think that you are all so hung up on this subject you can't see the wood for the trees. It is all a matter of your culture that matters not so much where you were born.

My cousin was born whilst his father was based with a Royal Navy ship in Singapore other people in the navy were based at HSM Afrikaaner in SA and had children whilst they were there on a 2 year draft.

My father was born whilst his father was based abroad and he was British. I was also born abroad but brought up British.
I have been here for 34 years, I'm sure that is a lot longer than some of you. I'm proud to be British and always cheer for the British team however bad they are. I can never understand born and bred British people supporting India or Pakistan but this is a cultural thing.
The way some people run down Britain here.I often wonder about them too.
I have served on British submarines and would die for Britain,that's what makes me British.

PS I also buy British. How many of you own a British car?

Answer 3

LOL!!! But when someone is born somewhere, that is the nationality they become - as they are on that soil. I live in Australia, but was born in Britain, so i'm British, unless I relinquish my British passport when I become an Australian citizen - then I will be Australian.
Some people have what is known as 'Dual Nationality' - that is when they are born somewhere, but their parents move them to another country and take the necessary steps for their child to become a citizen of that country. A lot of countries now have bans or laws in place to stop women giving birth in their country if they are not from there themselves - thats why before you board some countries they ask you if you are pregnant, and if so, how far along? Places like New Zealand and Australia have these laws - to stop illegal immigrants coming to the country just to give birth and so try to claim residency that way. Some countries are so strict - they will just send people back to their own country - with their child or not - if they do not want them there.

Answer 4

Your dog will always be a dog, dont worry he will never turn into a horse.

I would say if u r born in England it would make u English. There is nothing wrong with being English, why we have to say british these days is a piss-take. Would you hear a Scotsman describe himself as british? The answers 'Nooo ma wee laddd'

Answer 5

in the adventure that your mothers and fathers registered you as British on the British consulate interior the US in the previous you've been a three hundred and sixty 5 days previous, then you really will be British. they could actually have had the alternative of conserving your US citizenship, so that you may have twin nationality. besides the indisputable fact that, in the adventure that they did not sign in you as British, then you really could could prepare to be "naturalised". this can be achieveable because your mothers and fathers are British and also you're already residing right here. this does no longer be automatic. I had to prepare for my little ones - it took almost a three hundred and sixty 5 days and far of to-ing and fro-ing with countless records. except your mothers and fathers opted to resign your US citizenship, then you really must have US citizenship because you've been born there.

Answer 6

if someone is born in England and one of the parents is a british national, or naturalized british citizen, then yes they are British citizens, and they are therefore not from abroad.

yes, your dog is probably a horse...

Answer 7

Only if one or both of the child's parents are British themselves. If not, the child will not be a British citizen. (Applies to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)

Answer 8

A person born in a country should only be considered a citizen if at least one of the parents are!

Answer 9

If someone from abroad is born in England it does not make them British or English!

Answer 10

Unless your stable is a recognised country, then your dog is not a horse.

If someone is born in a recognised country, then that baby is a citizen of that country.

Answer 11

Whatever. I've read these other answers. Americans will consider and refer to you as British. Even in America, we are obsessed with each others "nationalities." We often ask one another, "What is your nationality." Because we aren't genuinely "American." We are all immigrants.
