LOL...this is why I laugh when people talk about being 'proud' to be English...British...or whatever.
It is like being proud to have toe nails.

ok you were born in England, where did you grow up? If you were raised in England and have a British passport and went to school there yes you are an englishman. but if you were born there and moved to another country right away, grew up there and schooled learned and adoped the customs of another country, you are of that country.You are of crude tongue so I think you were dropped on your head when you "fell" out of your mother.

Interesting question - If I say you're English because if they're only English because that's where they were when they fell out of their mother. I think you're English (or whatever nationality) because you've been brought up there, you might be lucky because you have a multi nationality - traditions of your parents and your kinsmen and be bilingual.

You are considered a citizen of whatever country you're born in, and reside, unless you change your country of residence at a later date. But why do you use such a crude expression describing your birth? Perhaps you have more of problem with your mother than you do with your country.

Fell out of your mother, have you no respect? No it doesn't make you English it makes you British if your parents are not English

If your parents are English .yes.
If your parents are not English or not naturalised no but the birth would have to registered at the embassy of their nationality.
It is possible that you could then have dual nationality.

Not unless your parents are English. If they were, for example, French and you were born in England, you would be French - not English. However, if they had become English citizens, you would be English.

I don't consider myself to be Polish because I was born there, neither do I consider myself to be German, American or British because I lived there. Those cultures (and others) have had their influences on me, but I am not a representator of any of them. I am me. If you'd like to know my mentality, you'd have to interact with me.

yes that's true but you're not giving your mother much credit. Maybe you should giver her a call. (but I do know that saying because it's in a Clash lyric)
