I was born in the UK - I have lived here all my 35 years. I am British; English; part of the United Kingdom.. as to what it means.. I think that could change every week. Interesting prog on Panaroma this evening especially as the nation were ALL behind Team GB...!! Made a change to be watching winners! Yes we beat the Aussies! Massive! As for the summer - oh that's British alright - wet n grey!
