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.)

I reckon on those criteria Cornwall and a chunk of west Devon are in the North (especially if you strip out second home wankers)

I’d normally just pick Irish in this sort of thing but interesting to see specifics about where disers are from isn’t it

Marty, Marty, they’re just trying to divide us. We should embrace our common south western roots and concentrate on the real enemy - the South East.

Just… “OTHER”? And not even that!

Harrumph! :triumph: :laughing:

This has probably been covered already, but I’m just going to go steaming right in. From my peely-wally, English-born, Scottish-domiciled, and nonetheless ‘British feeling’ (and ‘European feeling’, for that matter) point of privilege.

Asking for ethnicity kinda irks me full stop.

Especially when it includes English or Scottish or Welsh or Northern Irish. Or even British, to be tbh.

Are they really ethnicities? I remain wholly unconvinced. They just aren’t, are they? Ethnically Welsh? Ethnically Dutch? Ethnically Luxembourgish? Do me a favour.

And for all the current issues knocking about, surely Jewish ought to be in such a set of options and not just covered by ‘other white’ only listed amongst religions only?

Asking for ethnicity without asking for nationality is especially poor form. Although nationality is a bit irksome, too. Especially (as per ethnicity) when asked for on its own. What’s being asked for on that instance? ‘Cultural affinity’? ‘Legal residential status’? Any mention of passports in the answer sets of the QI klaxon.

At least asking for ethnicity and nationality gives some sort of context to the other.

There’s some Gov statistics-gathering guidance I read recently that backs up that point but I cba digging it out atm.

Weird that there was a time when loads of people (me included) were very under 20. Imagine if there were 15/16 year olds posting now.

I started posting when I was 17 or 18, terrifies me that all the things I said then are still online. Christ.

This has also been covered, probably, but THE MIDLANDS DENIAL MUST STOP!

The Kingdom of Mercia, and the Five Boroughs of Danelaw COMMAND that you, I dunno, at least vaguely acknowledge their existence. Or something. :unamused:
