I know an Irish woman who has lived most of her life in England and calls herself English, but she wasn't born here.

I don't think it matters too much, but sometimes it is due to pride.

If you are Scottish, many people like to boast about the place they belong to. It is a kind of patriotism.

When it comes to football teams, especially!

When Wimbledon comes back this summer, we shall be supporting Tim Henman, as he is English, but Andy Murray is Scottish, but fans look at him as English, as they cheer, "Come on England"
