With the Scottish referendum coming soon I was wondering, do you guys feel that you are more akin to people within your countries or that we within the Union (or even the entire British Isles if your from the Republic and want to include yourself) all have a similar identity and special relationship.
Me personally, as an Englishman raised in England with a Scottish father I feel a sort of brotherly affection towards people from Scotland, Wales and Norn Ireland that I don't think I would share with any other nationalities.
I'm eager to get the thoughts of everyone on this and even non Brits if you feel you have a special kinship with certain nationalities please do share.

I don't feel a kinship with any person on a geographical sense, really. Even people from the same City as me may as well be from a different planet. I feel more connected to people who have had similar life experiences to me and who have had to deal with the same issues as me, regardless of where they're from.
