I agree with a lot of what Dorling says, but his line really should go south of Lincolnshire - I don’t agree with his arguments for saying that it belongs in the south.

It’s a cliche, but a line from the Wash to the mouth of the Severn is probably still the most appropriate.

I didn’t consider different versions of Equal Opps.

Do American companies need to record the diversity of their workforce?

#118

Legally? I think so, but there’s generally some version of “decline to state” for race and ethnicity. My org also has that for ‘gender’.

Yeah I picked British in mine - born in England, raised in Wales, don’t feel any patriotic affinity to either, get called Welsh in England, get called an English prick in Wales…

British is the only choice left and that’s possibly worse than the other 2!

(if there was a ‘don’t give a toss’ option rather than prefer not to say, I’d pick that.)
