I am more proud of being a Yorkshire Man than being English. Some say I may be too proud..... Normally when I say lets declare war on Lancashire

I know Londoners are kinda the same, anyone else?

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

Born in Reading, moved to Yorkshire when I was 3. Only just getting accepted now.

I've picked up some things from Yorkshire though. The accent and their excellent way with money.

First generation immigrant here, originated from the Far East, came here to study in 1979, liked it so much I decided to call this country my home.

Had homes in London, Norfolk and now Wiltshire.

When asked I would say I am from London, as that's where I had my home for the longest.

Proud to be from Yorkshire foremost and the rest follows a long way behind. Maybe its because we come from gods own county and in general we are proud in Yorkshire to come from here in general.

Had this conversation in the cricket club earlier in relation to Andy Murray. One of the members said he'd be British if he won and Scottish if he lost.

I, by the way, am another who is Yorkshire first and British second - the patriotism is indoctrination early in this county!

I'm British. I have very little affinity for my county, I have a little for my home city.

This would be a very different debate in Spain which is very regionalised.

I notice that most "Londoners" no longer live there. Not trying to be provocative, just thought it was an interesting point.

It's probably got a lot to do with many Londoners making their money working in the Capital, then moving out make the most of it's high value in cheaper areas.

Maybe its because I'm a Londoner that I moved out and will never go back.

It's on your passport, you are British....If you travel abroad and have a serious problem you visit the British consulate, not the English consulate, nor the Leicestershire consulate.

I find this reluctance to be seen as British by some to be laughable...
